I think we were told to avoid assumptions in reports. So, option D sounds right, but I hope I’m not confusing it with something else we studied.

Writing a solid investigative report is all about attention to detail. I'll make sure every idea is supported by the evidence collected, and that the language is precise and easy to follow. No room for ambiguity in a court presentation.

The key here is to present the findings in a clear, objective manner that any reader can understand. Avoiding assumptions and sticking to the facts is crucial. I'd also make sure the report structure follows a logical progression.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the guidelines here. Should I include opinions from lay witnesses or avoid that? And what counts as an "assumption" that I should avoid? I'll need to think through this carefully.

This question is a real brain-teaser! I'd say all the options are pretty spot on. Except for the lay witness thing - that just sounds like a recipe for disaster, if you ask me.
