Can a Witness be Asked for Opinions

[gmonte201]

My question involves court procedures for the state of: NY

I am representing myself and will testify personally - so I am trying to think ahead as to what I will be asked.

When I am testifying, can the prosecutor ask me an opinion type question like: "Do you think it is reasonable....?" Am I required to answer or can I object that this is an opinion.

[Mr. Knowitall]

Probably not. Laypersons are competent to give opinions as to certain matters, and there's no reason to believe that the prosecutor will ask for anything resembling a professional opinion. Fill in the rest of the question if you want a more certain answer.
