	Hostile witness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A hostile witness is a witness for the opposing party or a witness who offers adverse testimony to the calling party during direct examination.
		A witness called by the direct examiner can be declared hostile by a judge, at the request of the examiner, when the witness' testimony is openly antagonistic or clearly prejudiced to the opposing party.
		Though the practice of declaring a witness hostile is very prevalent in television and in movies, it is far rarer in reality.

		The determination of whether a witness is hostile is within the discretion of the trial court and is based upon the demeanor of the witness, the witness' situation and relationship to and with the parties, the witness' interest in the case, and the inducements he or she may have for withholding the truth.
		Where a party has been entrapped or deceived by an artful or hostile witness, he or she may examine such witness as to whether the witness had not previously made contrary statements and may, in the discretion of the court, be permitted to show what the contrary statements were.

	USING LEADING QUESTIONS DURING DIRECT EXAMINATION
		[43] For example, when the question is preliminary,[44] a child is a witness or the witness is ignorant,[45] or when the witness's memory is exhausted[46] are all situations in which courts have suggested that leading questions are necessary and appropriate for a party to develop the testimony of a witness on direct examination.
		Courts automatically consider some witnesses hostile and, therefore, permit a party to ask leading questions during direct examination without a showing that the form of the question is necessary to develop the testimony of the witness.
		A court should consider a witness to be hostile if he or she is an officer, director or managing agent of a corporation, partnership, or association that is an adverse party.
