It is courtroom jargon rather than an idiom. To cross-examine means for the other side in the case to question the same witness. The "cross" part is added because the goal of the other person questioning the person is opposite that of the first person to do so. If a defense attorney asks a witness what they saw and their description paints the defendant in a positive light, then the prosecutor will want to cross-examine the witness to try to find holes in the story or convince the courtroom that they didn't see what they claimed to have seen.
