In a civil trial, after the plaintiff completes direct examination of their witness, the defense attorney begins cross-examination. To comply with proper mode and order, the defense attorney should:
Call additional witnesses during cross-examination as needed.
Rely on leading questions to control the witness's responses.
Introduce new evidence during cross-examination that was not presented during direct examination.
Ask open-ended questions to allow the witness to explain in detail.
Using leading questions during cross-examination is appropriate as it allows the attorney to control the witness's responses and effectively challenge their testimony. The other options describe practices more suitable for direct examination or improper procedures.
