Invented Procedural Rule

This trap appears as a wrong-answer choice in 1 active question. Spotting how it is built is the repair: read each example's “why it's attractive” before the “why it's wrong.”

Subject distribution

  • Evidence1

Example wrong choices

  • 22269_lakeside-boat-collision · EVIDENCE · Choice BYes, because the account is a prior consistent statement.

    Why it's attractive

    Right area, real rule, wrong variant — prior-consistent exemption needs a credibility attack that never happened.

    Why it's wrong

    Right area, real rule, wrong variant — prior-consistent exemption needs a credibility attack that never happened.

  • 22269_lakeside-boat-collision · EVIDENCE · Choice CYes, because the account is part of a public record.

    Why it's attractive

    True that it sits in a public record, but the embedded account is its own hearsay layer needing its own exception.

    Why it's wrong

    True that it sits in a public record, but the embedded account is its own hearsay layer needing its own exception.

  • 22269_lakeside-boat-collision · EVIDENCE · Choice DNo, because the account can only be testified to by the waterway officer.

    Why it's attractive

    Invents a 'only the officer can relay it' rule; the officer repeating it would be hearsay too.

    Why it's wrong

    Invents a 'only the officer can relay it' rule; the officer repeating it would be hearsay too.
