Which objection is used when a witness is making up material facts not found in the affidavits?

• A. Impeachment
• B. Creating Facts Not Found in the Record
• C. Lack of Foundation
• D. Speculation

Answer: (B)

This tests the rule that a witness may not invent facts that aren’t supported by the affidavits or other evidence in the record. In a trial, testimony must be grounded in what has actually been proven or sworn in, not what the witness imagines or fabricates. When a witness states material facts that aren’t found in the affidavits or exhibits, opposing counsel should object on the basis that the witness is creating facts not in the record. The court would typically sustain the objection and require the witness to stick to evidence already in the record, potentially striking or limiting the affected testimony. This is different from lack of foundation (which targets whether the witness has a proper basis to testify on a matter), speculation (which is guessing about things not actually knowable), or impeachment (which attacks credibility rather than the truth of the asserted facts).
