Objections are made when there is a legal basis for an objection; however, they should be used judiciously as too many petty objections may turn off the jury. Unlike on The Peoples Court where litigants "object" to every statement they don't agree with, in real life, objections may only be made if there is a legal basis. For example, in a redirect examination, questions may only be asked that directly relate to matters raised during the proceeding cross examination. If during redirect, the attorney asks a question about a matter not raised during the proceeding cross, the opposing attorney would object that the question was "beyond the scope" of cross examination. Another example would be for "hearsay," a statement made outside of court by a person other than the witness. If a witness tries to testify about something someone else said, the attorney should object on the basis of hearsay (there are exceptions to the hearsay rule, however). See the Federal Rules of Evidence for a list of all objectionable matter.

Can you get banned from WikiAnswers for asking too many questions?

No, you cannot get banned for asking too many questions; questions and answers is what the site is all about.Note:Inappropriate questions, however, can get you blocked. Honest questions that can be answered will not get you blocked.Posting many nonsense or "borderline" questions will get you blocked. One user asked hundreds of questions with the word "object" in them, and most didn't make sense or seemed like a weak attempt at trolling. "How do I eat object?" "How do I put object?" That user is blocked.

Can a prosecution witness be re-called to testify after the defense?

The prosecution cannot call witnesses after it closes its case (prima-facie break), it can only cross-examine witnesses called by the defense. If the proseution attempts to call a witness not on its witness list before it closes its case, the defense should object. Basic court procedure means that the Prosecution must go first and show its case, then close its case, and then it is the defense's turn; the question as presented is a violation of the normal procedures used in court.
