When you have introduced tangible evidence during the trial, after the trial is over you

a. will leave the objects with the court.
b. take the objects home.
c. substitute the objects with photographs
d. leave it to the judge to decide what happens to the objects.


c (although b is true, it omits the more important step of making a record of the evidence reflected in c—so some students will argue b - my response is that if you were only to do one of those things, which should it be, so it is an exercise in discrimination. Their response is ordinarily something like, "but you shouldn't decide—you should do both," also true. If they get really persistent, I get into a dialogue about how tests are constructed and about distracters and why the test doesn't always reflect reality and they decide they've had enough and will move on.)
