Do Leading Questions Work in Cross-Examination?
During cross-examination, do leading questions actually help you control a witness? The answer is "yes" and "no." There aren't any techniques that will give you complete Svengali-like control over a witness, but in this short video, you'll learn how leading questions can give you more control over the witness than any other cross-examination technique.

    Great info. After less than 24 hour notice I found myself defending myself in a speeding ticket juror case. The clerk had sent me an email and since I never check my emails I was blindsided. I was high with sleep deprivation and had no idea how to vet the jurors. I must say I held my own despite my inability to hold a thought. I figured the jury would have deliberated for one minute to find me guilty but they took 20 minutes. Had I seen this vid and been rested I bet I would have won. I just appealed and am pending a trial de novo. I'll be checking out your info for sure. Superb content!

      99% of the time, don't ever trust that a public deffender is going to actually work for you. He or she works for the system! He or she assigned to your case does not work for not you! (orruption in the American criminal court system is more common then most people would like to believe. I took a felony case to trial before and the judge in my case, ( -Judge- -Gail- -Z- -Bardach- )( -superior- -courtroom#6- -hamilton-county- IN ) she added a new charge to my case & she did this after both sides finished there final arguements! (((So final arguements had allready took place, the trial was over, all that was left, was for the judge to read jury instructions. Then obviously the jury exited the court room to deliberate & decide innocent or guilty.))) In the process of reading & explainning jury instructions to the jury for jury deliberation. She litterately took part of my defense that my lawyer used to prove my innocents and turnt it into a new charge. I started the trial facing 2 felonies & by the end of trial, just before the jury was to deliberate. I was facing three felonies. Every charge that someone faces in a criminal case. Each one has a cause# So how is the judge adding a new charge to my case during the jury trial not corruption. especially giving the timing of when she decided to add it. She added the new charge at the end. She added it at a time, when there was no chance for me & my lawer to defend my innocents against it, explainning my side of the situation. Her adding the new charge at anytime during the jury trial would have been criminal malpractice but the fact that she added a new charge to my case at the end of my trial proceeding. A new charge that had no cause# attached to it. WELL THATS CRIMINAL The inntensions of that act by the judge, even though probably not PREMEDITATED before the initial trial proceedings started. WAS CRIMINAL The intennsions were carefully thought out, it was criminal & unmoral. the intennsions were Purpossed & intended towards unjustly & wrongfully convicting a citizen. Her intennsions were purposed & intended towards taking away a innocent citizen's freedom & his right to a fair & unbiased trial hearing to prove his innocents. but speaking of PREMEDITATED I did find it odd that a bar tender from the very bar that called the law on me in the very case that I was fighting was selected to come in for possible jury duty on my case. 0utta around 330,000 residents of -hamiltoncounty- whats the odds of that happening? (American_Intermediary) I Thank God & I THANK MY PEERS, (((the citizens that were on my jury))) because they saw through the judges unjust behavior & her decision to try and trick the jurors. Ultimately finding me to be not guilty of all charges, even the one that she added in at the end of the trial. Thankyou also to my paid attorney Lawerence M. Hansen ! Without him & instead if I would have had to have had a public defender. I would have been forced to admit guilt to crimes that I didnt commit. Even though I was not guilty & was found to be not guilty by my peers in that court room sitting on the jury !!!! THIS IS CORRUPTION THAT HAS GOT TO BE EXPOSED TO THE PUBLIC ! IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED by the legal court system ! ( sealed & withheld from the public , TRANSCRIPTS of the jury trial proceedings ) This is an example of corruption that can be proven through evidence. Evidence thats being held and unlawfully seized from the publics view at the -Hamilton County- IN. Court House. ( sealed & withheld from the puclic , TRANSCRIPTS of the jury trial proceedings ) ( -judge- -gail- -z- -bardach- -superior- -courtroom#6- -HamiltonCounty- IN. ) She has recently retired from being a judge. this comment is off topic but just wanted to share it. ( -judge- -gail- -z- -bardach- -superior- -courtroom#6- -HamiltonCounty- IN. ) she has recently retired ( 7/1/2022 ) from being a judge. -judge- -gail- -z- -bardach- gave a interview to the The -Noblesville- -Times- on june 22 2022 This is a quote that she gave in that interview & I quote "Another thing that has been especially rewarding has been conducting jury trials, I love interacting with people & letting them see how the system really works. Jurors often tell me, after our trials, what a positive and educational experience their jury duty has been." End quote

    In my opinion it really doesn't matter if your asking me a leading question with the hopes of me giving you a yes or no answer, the witness, defendant or plaintiff still can give you a explanation and make it more detailed. That tactic would never work on me at all.

    I don't know but my attitude towards police officer is negative and sometimes positive. The more you watch the news you will see what police does badly. For other hand, I was saved for 2 police officers, they arrested the offender, helped the trial everything in my favor. Maybe now I would be dead if the police was not there. But I am very against taser, using authority abuse. Police has killed bicyclist on sidewalk while the police was texting. Police driving right behind the pedestrian crossing the pedestrian cross, while it it was somebody else doing that, would get ticket. I don't have any sympathy for criminals but police that is tasing and kicking people heads even after the person is cuffed. Tasing drunk woman and man is wrong, can't the "pussy" police guys handcuff or immobilize with his mussles the woman instead of tasing her. Spear me. Also you don't put a female lawyer or juror to be in a rape case, if the lawyer and juror person was raped sometimes in their life. I have seen judge forcing lawyer to defend a rapist that killed 2 years baby by chocking the baby with the sex act. The female lawyer told the judge about her past rape experience, and the judge refused and threat her she would lose her lawyer license. Really? So the judge is worse than the rapist. So how the lawyer will going to defend the monsters with 100% evidences, so the defense lawyer had to use the mental illness and lock him for good. If he is locked now, after the all the mental system is releasing people to the street. The rapist was not mental, he was asked why he chose the baby for the atrocities, and he said: "oh the baby does not complain, the baby opens his mouth good". The judicial system is all fucked up for not keeping this monster in real jail without free meal.
