Question 1

Questioning by the opposing side for the purpose of assessing the validity of the testimony is called&#10;A)direct examination.&#10;B)cross-examination.&#10;C)the defense.&#10;D)a and b only

Accepted Answer

Cross-examination is the process of questioning a witness by the opposing side to challenge, test, or evaluate the credibility, accuracy, and reliability of their testimony. It usually follows direct examination, in which an attorney questions their witness to elicit information and facts favorable to their case. The defense refers to the team representing the defendant in a legal case, and it may or may not be involved in cross-examination, depending on the specific circumstances. Choice A is incorrect because direct examination is not geared towards testing the validity of the testimony but rather presenting it in a persuasive way. Choice D is partially correct, as it mentions both direct and cross-examination, but it is not an exclusive answer to the question. Cross-examination is the questioning of a witness by the opposing side in a trial or hearing in order to challenge the witness's testimony and credibility. Direct examination, on the other hand, is when an attorney questions their own witness in order to elicit testimony supporting their case. The defense refers to the side in a trial or hearing that is arguing on behalf of the person or entity being accused or sued. Choice D is incorrect because direct examination and cross-examination are not synonymous with the defense, and it is possible for both sides to use both direct and cross-examination during a trial or hearing.
