While interviewing a potential witness, Xavier Paralegal suggested that the witness did not see a "green" car, but instead showed her pictures of blue and turquoise-colored cars of the same make and model as the car the witness told the police she had seen at the accident. By the end of the interview, the witness was pretty confused about what, exactly, she had seen. At Xavier's request, then,

she signed a witness statement saying that she really did not remember what the car looked like, contradicting the statement she made to the police. Xavier
