Two students witnessed a fight in the hallway at school. One witness was the best friend of Jaime, one of the boys involved in the fight. The other witness did not know either of the two boys. The principal investigated to find out who started the fight and what it was about. Which detail about the fight is important for the principal to remember so she can be fair? Please help
it's important for the principal to know that one of the witnesses was friends with one of the people involved because that witness has a bias. he/she is more likely to lie and say that Jamie DIDN'T start the fight because he/she doesn't want to get in trouble. the witness that did not know either of the people involved is more likely to tell the truth because he/she doesn't have a bias.
