TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you will be shown a prompt from a judicial decision and multiple holding statements derived from citations following text in a legal decision.  Holdings represent the governing legal rule when the law is applied to a particular set of facts. There are five answer choices for each citing text.

Sudden emergency does not change or reduce the standard of reasonable care. It is simply one of the factors to be considered in determining whether a person acted reasonably under the circumstances.

PROBLEM: stated that he could not remember whether Bailey had reached into Evans’s truck. But the State counters Bailey’s argument by noting that Don-nerson’s statement was entered into evidence at the second trial, and the defense was able to impeach him with the contradictory statement. ¶ 55. Bailey also claims that he was prejudiced by the loss of an audiotape of Pickens’s statement to police. Bailey asserts that the audiotape was important to his defense because Pickens had changed his statement of the events, and the audiotape would corroborate some of his previous statements, as well as Bailey’s statements to police.
