Your witness lessons on cross-examination pdf

A leading question is a question that suggests its answer. For example: It was Tuesday? The light was green? The leading question is the foundation of a good cross examination because it helps direct the witness down the path that you want to take him or her through. Note: In the old books on cross examination you may have seen the author pose questions with a tagline.

While that may have seemed like a good idea at the time the taglines start to get repetitive and distracting after a while. I would recommend dropping the taglines altogether and if for whatever reason the judge sustains those objections just add a tagline to the first question or two after the objection and then drop them again. Most of the time people will stop objecting and forget about it. Your job on cross examination is to tell a clear story through what is usually a hostile witness. The best way to do that is to make sure that your questions are clear and short.

A question with multiple facts in it is neither. A one fact question also leaves little room for the witness to successfully evade. A one fact question eliminates any possibility in the minds of the jury that the witness simply did not understand the question or has some legitimate basis for not answering it directly. Note: While there is some wiggle room as to our first principle every question is a leading question , there really is no good reason for asking questions on cross examination that have multiple facts built in them.

Opinions are malleable and personal to people, facts are not. People can easily disagree as to opinions, but hardly as to facts. Because of this it is important that you cross examine as to facts, not opinions. At that time everyone has already left the party, the home owners are cleaning up, and the majority of the neighborhood homes have turned off their lights.

You want to convey to the jury that it was late. This cross examination sequence achieves that goal:. The witness will have to admit all of these and these questions convey the feeling that it was late.

However, if you instead tried to cross examine on an opinion the witness could fairly disagree. If you were to ask the witness:. A: I would not say it was late. It was only 10 P. The witness could fairly answer this way because you asked about an opinion, and reasonable minds can differ about opinions on the topic. Some lawyers believe in starting cross examination with questions that do not add anything to the case.

For example, you may start cross examining a witness by asking him about background information not critical to the determination of the lawsuit like date of incident, employment credentials, etc.

The idea behind this is unclear to me. An effective cross examination must not waste primacy. Das Brigas aos Jogos com Regras livro. Del Vecchio epub.
