Ms. Alwaze Wright Battery Case Questions
To cover any gaps in the case that the defendant might use to discredit Ms. Alwaze Wright, I will use both direct and indirect questions. The first ask her the topic of the debate that made the defendant frustrated. This will help to know if there was any provocation on her part towards the defendant, which is a critical issue in this case. Secondly, I will seek to from her if where she and the defendant were seated. Did say share a seat, or were they seating adjacent to each other? This will be paramount to establish the real intention of the defendant. For instance, if the defendant was seated far from Ms. Alwaze Wright and come directly to blow the cigarette smoke to her will indicate that the defendant had a clear intention to cause harm to her.
On the contrary, if they were seating adjacent to each other, the defendant might argue that he did blow the cigarette smoke to her, but the wind did. Therefore, it is essential to have these facts from the plaintiff. Thirdly, I will ask her if l there were other students smoking in the party, and if so, was there any around her. This will enable to establish who exactly blew the cigarette smoke on her. Fourthly, I will also ask Ms. Alwaze Wright if she was drunk during the party, especially during the time the argument was taking place between them. This is important as the defendant might argue that she was drunk and cannot turn of events with the utmost accuracy poking holes to the case.
Fifthly, I will also ask her if she is sure she was sure the defendant is the person who placed his hand on her shoulder. After the supposed confrontation with the defendant, their paths did not cross for the extra one hour she stayed. Therefore, it will be imperative to ask her if she encountered another similar incident during that period that might have made someone else to place that per written “Kick Me!” on her back. It is rational to deduce that if it is the defendant, she must have discovered the paper. Lastly, I will ask her if she has witnesses who can collaborate her allegations as he who alleges should prove.
Mrs. Crude/Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress List the Questions
One of the critical questions to ask Ms crude would be if she had a personal vendetta with the defendant or not. This is because other oil executives were present in the room, and none has decided to sue the defendant except her, which she knowingly knows such incidences are bound to happen to her as she is a public figure. I will also ask her if she is aware of the deaths of the birds associated with his company. This is Important because the defendant might present the same to the court and argue that she was acting in the best interest of the public, and she can support her allegation with the dead birds. Furthermore, she is the head of the oil company and its rational to direct such actions towards her.
Secondly, it will be imperative to ask her why as much as the ordeal might have been frightening, and she was the only one who stormed out of the meeting. This is critical as the defendant could argue that the ordeal was not as scary to cause any emotional distress, and her legal suit toward the is defendant is a scheme to silence her.
Lastly, I will ask her if the reason she missed the work for the two days was as a result of that incidence or not and if that was the case, did she seek any medical assistance as is expected. If she sorts medical aid, is she able to prove it? This is important because if she didn’t find any medical attention, then the defendant might argue that indeed the incident was not severe to cause mental distress.
