A defendant was sued for defamation for allegedly publishing a false and defamatory story about a local business man based on an anonymous tip. On the stand, the defense attorney asked the defendant for the pseudonym used by the anonymous tipster who provided him with the details of the story about the business man. Overwhelmed by the stress of the trial, the defendant admitted that he could not remember the name. The defense attorney has asked for permission to show the defendant the notes he used to write the allegedly defamatory story to remind him of the name of the tipster. Is the court likely to permit the defense attorney to show the defendant his notes? Answers:
A. Yes, to lay foundation for the admission of the notes into evidence.
B. Yes, as a proper attempt to refresh the defendant's recollection.
C. No, because the use of the notes violates the best evidence rule.
D. No, because it is an improper attempt to lead the witness on direct examination.
