Trial lawyers who are exceptionally good at cross examining a witness tend to follow one very important rule: Never ask a question to which you do not already know the answer.
In a cross exam, unlike the direct exam, the attorney can (and should) ask leading questions. A leading question provides the answer to the question, such as, "Isn't it true, Mr. Witness, that when you picked up the gun and pulled the trigger, you had not yet seen the security camera?"
A good cross examination is one where the witness can answer only "yes" or "no" to the question being asked.
