COURTROOM

Superior Court, Criminal Division

LIVE SESSION
JUDGE MARTINEZ 2 mins ago

Defense counsel, you may proceed with your cross-examination of the witness. Please remember to maintain proper courtroom decorum.

WITNESS: SARAH CHEN 1 min ago

I saw the defendant at the convenience store around 10:30 PM that night. I'm certain it was him because I recognized his jacket.

LEARNING HINT

The witness mentioned a specific time (10:30 PM). Consider asking about lighting conditions and visibility at that hour. This could affect the reliability of their identification.

SUGGESTED QUESTIONS
YOUR TURN

RECENT FEEDBACK

Excellent Strategy

Your opening statement effectively established reasonable doubt. You cited relevant precedent appropriately.

Room for Improvement

Consider being more specific with your objections. Instead of "Objection, relevance," try "Objection, Your Honor. This line of questioning is not relevant to the charges."
