__________ is the defense counsel will begin the questioning after the prosecution has finished with the witness

• A. Redirect Examination
• B. Cross Examination
• C. Recross Examination
• D. Sustained

Answer: (B)

Cross-examination is the defense’s opportunity to question a witness after the prosecution has finished its direct questioning, with the goal of testing the witness’s credibility, accuracy, and the strength of the testimony by highlighting inconsistencies. Redirect comes after cross and is used by the witness’s side to rebut points from cross, while recross occurs after redirect. Sustained is a judge’s ruling on an objection, not a type of examination.
