A series of questions are put forth, and then the questioner demands
that they be answered as a whole by either yes or no. Since there is
always the possibility that the answerer needs to answer each of the
questions separately and differently, the complex question puts the
answerer in an unfair position. Although the questions contained in
the series may each be a leading question, the complex question differs
in that separate answers are not desired.
'Do you deny that you were in the room at the time of the
murder' Do you deny that you always hated the man? Do you deny that
if you couldn't have killed him yourself you would have been glad to
have someone else do the dirty job? Answer me, 'yes' or 'no'.
