For the Assignment, you will prepare a What NOT to Do When Testifying list. As you read Chapter 15 in the textbook, take notes on what a professional law enforcement officer (PLEO) should NOT do when testifying or preparing to testify in a criminal case and why. Your list should contain a minimum of 21 items that a PLEO should not do.
The first item on your list will be that the PLEO should NEVER commit perjury while testifying. Perjury is knowingly telling a lie under oath about something that is important to the case.
As you read through Chapter 15, look for 20 more actions/behaviors that the PLEO should avoid. Prepare a document with the title: What NOT to Do When Testifying. Item #1 has been provided for you. After each item, provide a brief statement with your rationale for including the item. Use a format similar to the one shown below:
