Discrediting an opposing witness can help your chances in a trial.
Effectively discrediting the opposing witness is a critical part of developing a winning trial strategy. Many a trial is lost because a jury likes, respects, or believes an opposing witness. So how do you plan to attack a likeable, credible, or highly qualified witness? This topic will lead you to four proven methods of discrediting an opposing witness, including: undermining the subject matter of the witness; neutralizing the credibility of the witness; negating or diminishing the impact of the witness testimony; and countering the effectiveness of the witness. There will be a bonus discussion on the topic of modifying your questioning style to match the method of your attack of an opposing witness. Be prepared to expand your trial strategy and sharpen your cross-examination skills in discrediting opposing witnesses.
