It is the defense council’s job to discredit any witness including a security guard’s testimony

True
False
Situational
Unknown

The correct answer is: True

The role of the defense counsel in any legal proceedings is to present the most effective case for their client. This involves scrutinizing evidence and challenging the credibility of witnesses called by the prosecution, including a security guard. The counsel does this to ensure that their client’s case is presented in the best possible light, and also to ensure that due process is followed. So, it is indeed part of the defense counsel's job to try to discredit any witness, including a security guard's testimony, whenever it is necessary.
