<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Tap the reported speech for the sentence.

"He said, ‘My client is not guilty.’’

Answer 1

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> As this sentence is reporting the defense lawyer’s statement from the past, the verbs in the reported speech should be in the simple past tense. So, the verb ‘is’ changes to ‘was’. Hence, ‘He said that his client was not guilty’ is the correct answer.
