Law & Order 3: Justice is Served Hints

How do I know when to object?

  • 1 of 6: This is kind of tough, since you have to object before the attorney stops talking or it's no good. And if you object and it gets overruled, the judge snaps at you and your score goes down. Too many and your case will get thrown out. (Theoretically, that is. I never got him to actually cite me for contempt, so it's possible it's an empty threat. But why push your luck?)
  • 2 of 6: Reading the material on "Questioning Witnesses in Court" on the computer in the DA's office is helpful, especially since they have examples to show what they're talking about.
  • 3 of 6: The defense attorney will do his best to make the jury think someone else committed this murder. With every witness, watch for questions that try to make them look guilty. Questions that start "Isn't it true ..." are very often objectionable.
  • 4 of 6: And don't forget, you can hit the spacebar while the attorney is talking to freeze the screen and think about the question.
  • 5 of 6: If you really can't figure it out, here's a bug in the program that can help:
  • 6 of 6: Before the defense attorney starts talking, hit the spacebar to freeze him, then turn on subtitles and save the game. Now let him ask his questions without objecting to any of them, and watch the subtitles carefully. On the questions you should have objected to, when you go to the witness, the words will change for a split second to the question the attorney would have asked instead if you had objected. It's not long enough for you to read the question, but it's long enough to tell you that was a bad question. Now load in the saved game, and this time object to those questions before he finishes talking. Ta-dah!
