Cross Examination is a legal process used in court where a lawyer questions a witness who has already provided testimony. The purpose is to challenge the credibility of the witness and clarify any inconsistencies in their statements. This phase allows the opposing party to test the reliability of the evidence presented. During Cross Examination, the lawyer often asks leading questions, which suggest their own answer. This technique helps to control the narrative and can reveal weaknesses in the witness's account. Effective cross-examination can significantly influence the outcome of a trial by swaying the judge or jury's perception of the evidence.
