Definition
A Misleading Objection (aka Confusion Objection) is raised when a party in a legal proceeding believes that a question or statement is designed to deceive or confuse the witness or the court. This objection is often related to Federal Rule of Evidence 403, which allows the exclusion of evidence if its probative value is substantially outweighed by the risk of causing confusion, misleading the jury, or wasting time.
