What if a witness is not sworn in at a trial?
It depends on why the witness is not there, what kind of witness it is, what kind of case it is, and what sort of evidence the witness is expected to give. In a criminal trial, the case may be dismissed if there is no witness. Or the trial may be delayed while law enforcement finds and brings the witness to court (if they are ignoring a subpoena). If the witness is ill or travelling, the case may be continued to wait for the witness. If the witness is not key, the parties may proceed without him/her, or they may shift around the order or witnesses to allow that witness to appear later in the trial.
When the defense does a cross examination of the witness they will ask questions in an attempt to what about a testimony?
Trial lawyers can use cross-examination to impeach a witness's testimony, thereby undermining the credibility of that witness on that particular point or as part of a general assault on the witness's veracity. But, good cross-examiners will when appropriate use cross-examination to elicit facts favorable to his side from the witness. It is, therefore, not necessarily the best strategy to attack every witness. See, http://www.relentlessdefense.com/relentless-criminal-cross-examination.html
