What is wadiring a witness in court?

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.
