1)  Answer: imperfect self-defense

2)  Answer: FALSE

3)  Answer: These are merely a summarization of the evidence presented during trial. Often, attorneys feel closing
arguments make or break the case for their side.

4)  Answer: FALSE

5)  Answer: A lay witness is a person who is qualified to testify based upon his or her own observations and
