During a trial in a federal court, the attorney for the defendant requests that the court take judicial notice of the fact that water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit. How should the judge respond to this request?
Deny the request unless the fact is disputed by the opposing party.
Require the defendant to provide scientific testimony to prove the freezing point of water.
Allow the request only if both parties agree to the fact.
Grant the request because the freezing point of water is a well-known fact and can be judicially noticed.
Courts can take judicial notice of commonly known scientific facts, such as the freezing point of water, without requiring formal evidence. The other options incorrectly suggest that such facts require additional evidence, dispute, or mutual agreement.
