Type of question asked to a witness by a party that suggests or contains the answer that the party wants the witness to give and can usually be answered with a “yes” or a “no.” (When Keira asked, “Is it true that the window was broken around 5 p.m.?” she is asking a leading question because her question contains the information she wants from Greta.)
