Clues

  • A claim in the form of "If this....then that, provided that, given that" predictions (12, 6)
  • A statement or judgement that can be challenged cannot be believed until verified (5)
  • Ability to see/hear/observe affected by medical conditions, influence of alcohol/drugs, distractions, distress (7, 2, 8)
  • Additional argument that is against what the conclusion seeks to establish, usually put into argument to be dismissed (7, 8)
  • Neutral in dispute no connection to either parties involved no motive to lie, give balanced account (10)
  • Past performance, behaviour and character, not very reliable (10)
  • Provide motive to lie or distort because of personal interest in situation, will gain personally from outcome (6, 8)
  • Reason that would support opponents argument rather than counter so seems balanced (7, 9)
  • Skills, experience and training give someone specialist knowledge and judgement, accurate evidence reliable (9)
  • Whether evidence from one witness agrees with other witnesses' accounts, are they consistent not conflicting (13)
