In a trial, a witness claims they were at the location of the incident at 8 in the evening. The defense introduces a photograph taken by another individual at 9 o'clock showcasing the defendant at the same place. How should the defense most effectively utilize the photograph?
Use the photograph to challenge the witness’s honesty regarding their testimony.
Introduce the photograph to contradict the witness's statement about their presence at the location at 8 in the evening.
Use the photograph to show the witness’s ability to accurately observe and remember events.
Present the photograph as proof of the defendant’s location without connecting it to the witness’s testimony.
The correct answer is to introduce the photograph to contradict the witness's statement about their presence at the location at 8 in the evening. This directly challenges the witness's account by presenting evidence that the defendant was present an hour later, thereby raising doubts about the witness's credibility or the accuracy of their testimony.
