Howard L. Nations Law Offices - Cross Examination If, during direct examination, you determine that cross-examination is necessary, conduct a quick damage assessment from the perspective of the jury--keeping clearly in focus that the jurors are the sole judges of factual disputes, the credibility of the witnesses, and the amount of damages to be awarded. When examining a witness who seeks to explain every answer, you may request the court to instruct the witness to limit answers during cross-examination to responses to the questions posed by the examiner and to further instruct that defense counsel, during redirect examination, will have a chance to bring out explanations. Those examiners who do not seek to enlist the aid of the court in dealing with the problem witness and allow the witness to be unresponsive or evasive believe that the jurors will be able to detect the witness's lack of cooperation and candor and will draw their own adverse conclusions about the witness. www.howardnations.com /crossexamination/cross_ex.html   (13245 words)

FLRA GC Litigation Manual - Part 2 - W.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) In addition, the ALJ has discretion to vary the normal order of proof and allow a party to bring out on redirect examination a matter which is relevant to the case but due to an oversight was not elicited on direct. The decision to conduct a redirect requires careful analysis of whether this is necessary to strengthen the GC’s case-in-chief. Redirect is not to rehash testimony given on direct. www.flra.gov /gc/lm_p2-w.html   (332 words)

Redirect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In law, a redirect is the reexamination of a witness by the lawyer who originally called them to testify -- that is, the one who delivered the direct examination. The judge is not typically obliged to grant a lawyer's request for a redirect. In the Unix (and Unix-like) operating systems, Redirection refers to the ability to rearrange the input and output from commands given to the shell command line interpreter. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Redirect   (232 words)

80 Wn.2d 19, THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, Respondent, v. LEVI WILLIAM MACK, Petitioner The proper scope of redirect examination is limited to clarifying matters which have become confused in the process of cross-examination, to rehabilitating a witness before the trier of fact, or to rebutting testimony elicited on cross-examination. Furthermore, it exceeded the proper scope of redirect examination and, as concluded by the Court of Appeals, its admission constituted error. The trial court properly applied the rule announced by this court in the Gefeller case and held that the state's redirect examination was within the scope of the subject matter of the appellant's invited inquiry. www.mrsc.org /mc/courts/supreme/080wn2d/080wn2d0019.htm   (2688 words)

United States v. Riggi, 951 F.2d 1368   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) The court held that, by reason of the district court's policy forbidding recross-examination, new damaging information elicited on redirect examination was not subjected to recross-examination by defense counsel and that the absolute restriction on recross-examination was significant to the defense. Where new evidence is opened up on redirect examination, the opposing party must be given the right of cross-examination on the new matter, but the privilege of recross-examination as to matters not covered on redirect examination lies within the trial court's discretion. I dissent because the restriction of recross examination comports with the Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment. www.thelaborers.net /lexisnexis/951_f2d_1368-riggi.htm   (7450 words)

[No title] Examining the elements of s 1513(b) and each of the D.C. assault provisions at issue reveals that under the Blockburger test, s 1513(b) is distinct from both assault with intent to kill while armed and aggravated assault while armed. Not only did the Court never mention redirect examination, but Perry's rationale cannot be extended to this case without running afoul of the very rule that it reaffirmed: When tactical questions arise, the Sixth Amendment requires defendants to be allowed to consult with their attorneys. Redirect allows counsel to help the defendant clari- fy testimonial inconsistencies and ambiguities elicited through cross-examination that might otherwise leave the factfinder confused or distracted. pacer.cadc.uscourts.gov /common/opinions/199812/97-3011a.txt   (9886 words)

ar011247 The basic function of redirect examination is to enable the witness to explain and clarify any relevant matters in his or her testimony which have been weakened, confused or obscured by cross-examination and to rebut the discrediting effect of any damaging statements or admissions or to correct any wrong impression that may have been created. In addition, a judge under his discretionary power may permit the party to bring out on redirect examination some matter which is relevant to his case or defense and which through oversight he has failed to elicit on direct. On redirect, the prosecutor was entitled to attempt to clarify what type of questions the investigator asked the victim and how he conducted his interview. courts.state.ar.us /unpublished/2002b/20021023/ar011247.html   (528 words)

STEPS IN MOCK TRIALS Redirect is not the time to try to address matters that have not been raised previously by either side. The scope of cross examination is fairly broad and may cover the subject matter of the direct examination, matters affecting the credibility of the witness, and additional matters, otherwise admissible, that were not covered on direct examination. However, on cross examination only, any document made or prepared by the witness who is being examined may be used for purposes of impeachment or cross examination without having been admitted into evidence. www.mccsc.edu /~rcourtne/attorneyinfo.htm   (2784 words)

ORAL ARGUMENT Although the district court had the authority to limit consultation between direct examination and cross-examination, the reasons for permitting that limitation involve maintaining the integrity of cross-examination; they do not apply to redirect examination. Furthermore, any concerns about consultations prior to redirect examination are equally present prior to direct examination, and, accordingly, there is no reason to limit such consultations. Furthermore, any concerns regarding consultation prior to redirect examination of a criminal defendant, including the risk of improper coaching, are equally present prior to direct testimony. www.dcfpd.org /motions/appindex/mclaughl2.htm   (3327 words)

225 Pa. Code Rule 611. Mode and Order of Interrogation and Presentation. Cross-examination of a witness other than a party in a civil case should be limited to the subject matter of the direct examination and matters affecting credibility; however, the court may, in the exercise of discretion, permit inquiry into additional matters as if on direct examination. Leading questions should not be used on the direct or redirect examination of a witness except as may be necessary to develop the witness’ testimony. When a party calls a hostile witness, an adverse party or a witness identified with an adverse party, interrogation may be by leading questions; a witness so examined should usually be interrogated by all other parties as to whom the witness is not hostile or adverse as if under redirect examination. www.pacode.com /secure/data/225/chapter6/s611.html   (1110 words)

Cross Examination A clever witness under cross-examination can, by proper response to opposing counsel’s questions, signal a necessity for questions to be asked on redirect examination.
