Jack Rice Appears on Law & Crime to Talk Cross Examination and Johnny Depp/Amber Heard
The Johnny Depp/Amber Heard defamation trial has been going on for weeks and Amber Heard is moving into her second day of cross examination. She has made some truly explosive allegations during direct examinations and over the last few years including her OPED in the Washington Post. Cross examination is a completely different game. The is not about allowing her to tell her story in her own way. This is about picking that very story apart.
Criminal Defense Attorney Jack Rice appears on Law & Crime to discuss Amber Heard’s testimony. However, Jack is really there as an expert to discuss cross examination and how the process works.
“Direct examination is about broad open ended questions to allow a witness to talk and tell their story. Cross examination is about short declarative statements with one fact at a time. This is about the attorney completely and utterly controlling the conversation.”
