They're allowed to cross-examine him. The witness is called to the stand - and gives their account of what they saw. The opposing counsel then has the chance to question the witness - in an attempt to disprove their evidence.
In most legal systems, both the prosecution and defense must share their witness list with the other party before the trial. This is to ensure transparency and fairness in the legal process.
No they do not. They have brothers and sisters on the other side and wil not kill them.
Contact the party or attorney that issued the subpoena to you. If you are state's witness, contact the prosecutor's office. If a private attorney has called you to be a witness for their side, contact that attorney. You are being called to serve as a witness for one side or the other, and that side is responsible for all costs and fees associated with your appearance and testimony.
Yes, of course they are. I have side bangs and many other girls do as well at my school.
A trial lawyer may use cross-examination to impeach a witness and, thereby, undermine his credibility; on the other hand, the lawyer may use cross to elicit facts from the witness which are favorable to his side. See below link:
Mayella testifies that Tom Robinson assaulted her, while her father, Bob Ewell, testifies that he saw Tom Robinson through the window assaulting her. However, their testimonies contradict each other on key details, such as the side of the face Mayella was injured on and whether Bob Ewell heard or saw the assault.
A hostile witness is a witness who shows antagonism or unwillingness to testify truthfully or in a helpful manner. They may provide answers that are evasive, argumentative, or uncooperative during questioning. In some cases, legal procedures may be used to address the behavior of a hostile witness.
Yes, a written witness statement can be used as evidence in small claims court. It is important for the statement to be signed and dated by the witness, and ideally notarized for added credibility. The court will consider the witness statement along with other evidence presented during the case.
I'm guessing the term you intended to use is voir dire(pronounced "vor deer"), which means "speak the truth." A voir dire examination of a witness determines whether the witness is able and qualified to testify to the information he or she is presumed to have. The examination (actually, questioning of the witness, usually by the attorney on the side opposing the one that called the witness) can call on the witness to recount their education and training, physical abilities, state of sobriety at the time they witnessed the events in question, and other factors that might affect their ability to give a true and accurate account of their observations.The film My Cousin Vinny includes a memorable example of a voir dire examination. One of the witnesses, an elderly woman named Constance Riley, testifies that she saw the two defendants at the scene of the crime. Their attorney, Vinny Gambini, conducts an in-court demonstration showing that the witness can't see the number of fingers he is holding up when she is half the distance away from Gambini as she was from the defendants when she made her observation. Gambini showed that the witness was unqualified to identify facial features of anyone that far away.
