Relentless Criminal Cross-examination

How to (1) persuasively open with the weaknesses you will expose in the government's case, and (2) demonstrate those weaknesses through your cross-examinations. Themes, angles of attack, pattern Q&A, and technique tips for cross-examining arresting officers, detectives, toxicologists, medical examiners, eyewitnesses, informants, and accomplices. Hit prosecutors with a powerful one-two punch. To many criminal defense attorneys, the trial represents the arena in which they fight every accusation and contest every issue - admit nothing and challenge everything. Like a boxer who swings at every opening, this approach is exhausting for everyone in the courtroom and rarely succeeds. The jury becomes weary of the repetition, overwhelmed with minutia, and turned off to defense's closing. Making his punches count, author Kevin Mahoney (www.relentlessdefense.com) instead uses a winning one-two combination that matches a compelling opening with targeted cross-examinations. He explains and heavily illustrates this courtroom-proven attack in Relentless Criminal Cross-Examination. First, Mr. Mahoney teaches you how to believably outline in your opening the weaknesses you will expose in the government's case. Second, he shows you how to demonstrate to the jury, through your cross-examinations, that the facts are more in accord with your opening than with the prosecutor's.
