2:34 THANK YOU for saying this. Biggest issue I see with witnesses on cross is the complete, irrational compulsion to fight _everything_ the crossing attorney says. Your likability as a witness is your most important weapon, so agreeing with the other side can be just as powerful as refuting it.

Absolutely! And, after all, what makes you look less guilty...simply saying "yes that's correct" or "yes, however, if you really think about it, uh, the truth of the situation is, blah blah"

Teaching when and how to have just the right amount of fight and not agreeing to things that are just completely wrong.

It would be interesting to break down the process of objecting, when to, when not to, all that fun stuff. Very good video!

does stating “i didn’t say that” when regarding specific statements that aren’t word for word as specified in your affidavit possibly affect your likability as a witness in a negative way?

@mocktrialmasterclass 5 месяцев назад

It depends. You don't want to get into a semantics battle--something like "I said 'warm' not 'hot.'" Stuff like that will definitely make you look silly and unlikable. But if it's actually something you didn't say, stand your ground!
