Best Answer

You can only ask a witness their opinion to an extent. If the witness has not been qualified as an expert, then you can not ask the witness for an opinion that could effect the outcome of the case in any way. However, if a witness has been qualified as an expert, then you can ask them for their opinion on any issue in which they have enough expertise.
