Default How do I survive being cross-examined?

totallystressed wrote:
Help!

I am shortly facing court as a witness for the prosecution. The
defendant is apparently going to be representing himself and so will
be asking the cross-examination questions.

The offences are harassment and threats to kill.

Has anyone got any tips to help me? All help is much appreciated.


Stay calm at all times, factual, truthful and unemotional. The judge will
look after you, and will refuse to allow intimidation or irrelevant
questions. Don't get annoyed at anything. If the defendant gets annoyed,
he will be harming his own case, so don't worry about it.
