__________ is when the defense attorney may further question a witness after redirect examination by the prosecutor

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

Answer: (A)

Recross examination occurs when the defense may question a witness again after the prosecutor’s redirect. This step lets the defense test or challenge points that came up during redirect, focusing on credibility and ensuring the testimony stayed within the issues raised during redirect. The scope is generally limited to topics touched on during redirect, and it follows the initial cross-examination and the prosecutor’s redirect. This is the stage where the defense can probe the witness further to clarify or counter anything that redirect introduced.
