Killer Cross Examination - Cooperating Witness Cross Examination By Attorney Neil Rockind

Neil Rockind is a Michigan Criminal Defense attorney and proponent of Killer Cross Examination. The case involves an allegation of drug delivery and drug possession. The witness claimed that our client delivered drugs to him. Here is an excerpt of a cross examination of a cooperating witness in a recent case where I took a particular approach due to the witness’s conduct on direct examination. Rather than conduct an animated, "fiery" cross examination, my tactic was to remain understated and deliberate, allowing the jury's attention to remain on the witness.

[@SpaceCond0r]

I don’t understand how people are acting like this cross was bad or that the defense lawyer was wrong for attacking his credibility? This guy was brought by the STATE as a witness. The defense is meant to poke holes and discredit witnesses brought by the state, and that’s exactly what he did. By the end it was obvious that this witness was not credible at all. He had a history of lying and had a lot to lose. You bet your ass if you were on trial, you would want your defense lawyer to do the same. Could you imagine if this witnesses testimony was what ended up convicting you? And yes the defendant was found guilty. That doesn’t mean the cross was bad or that the defense lawyer did a bad job. Great lawyers lose cases all the time.

[@peterd9427]

Insinuating and strongly trying to make the jury believe that someone that is taking their prescribed medication for ADHD makes him a druggy and or high is horrible. I don't know how lawyers like that can live with themselves. Yes you could class that medication as a type of amphetamine (and this is what he stresses to make unsuspecting people believe he must be high) but I am a pharmacist and a medical student. I can tell you that someone with ADHD will not have the same response to amphetamines as other people. It will actually balance them and make them function like someone without ADHD that is not taking amphetamines. What a lowlife!

[@thejurydoctor6097]

[@andrewvelonis5940]

Not a killer cross examination. A good, thorough cross examination during which the prosecutor was asleep. There were many, many questions that should have been objected to as being compound, argumentative, immaterial or calling for a legal conclusion. In addition there were several answers that were non-responsive, to which the defense attorney could have asked be stricken from the record.

[@rsnookerg308]

Agree. In my mind I was objecting repeatedly. Plus how could she not prep her witness and advise him on 5th amendment implications of some areas of inquiry. Total fail

[@garrettgravley]

I mean, he successfully impeached an adverse witness’s credibility, which is ultimately what the goal was.

[@Jake.The.Snake.]

How could you even call this a "good" or "through" cross examination? The witness made multiple long speeches and explained everything he wanted to explain. The defense attorney completely failed at making the witness look unreliable, he moved on from a question at the witnesses request and stopped going down that path. The questions being asked were too long and left too much room for the witness to talk about other things. This is objectively an awful cross examination, the witness walked all over this attorney .

[@garrettgravley]

@@Jake.The.Snake. so being cornered into admitting you committed perjury is “walking all over” the attorney?

You start off by basically accusing him of being high, because he takes a prescription for ADHD, and then make him even more relatable by questioning his desire to lie to avoid being arrested during a raid… I don’t get it. I’d be interested to hear and see the outcome of this case.

Lack of memory AND lack of care is what he said which is even worse lol.

What he means by that statement could be that he isn't trying to intentionally mislead the court. It's possible that he's trying to draw on his actual memory of events rather than on his memory of a story he's been instructed to rehearse, tell and stick to. He seems somewhat ashamed or embarrassed by some of the details of his testimony, and he even admits at one point to having perjured himself and lied to police.
