Practice question
During plea-taking, a judge announces that the guilty-or-not-guilty answer determines the accused’s position on the criminal accusation, but is not itself a witness-list agreement excluding unnamed prosecution witnesses. Is that distinction supported by Rule116?
- No; every plea stipulates an exclusive witness list
- Yes
- Only guilty pleas permit unnamed witnesses
- Only police witnesses are excluded
- The answer decides witness credibility in advance
