Ready to take the stand? At this point, you have done your homework on the case and should be well prepared to testify in court as an expert witness in the criminal trial of Mark Lawson.
When you take the stand, you will:
Present your prepared testimony
Respond to questions under cross examination
Present your testimony Remember that to be successful on the stand you need to tell a clear story about what happened to Linda Lawson, present a logical explanation of the facts of the case, and reinforce your position with demonstrative evidence. Your ultimate goal is to present your testimony in a way that will convince even the most skeptical jury to see things clearly from your perspective.
Respond to questions under cross examination You will also be cross examined by the opposing side’s counsel. They will try to convince the jury that your testimony is flawed, so prepare for some challenging questions. The key is to remain clear-headed and answer the questions logically and thoroughly in a way that best supports your position on the case.
