Trial Tutorials: Dealing with Bad Facts and Bad Witnesses

You get what you get, and you don’t get upset. This oft-employed saying, used to soothe unhappy children, applies at trial as well. You don’t get to choose your facts or your witnesses, so knowing how to address detrimental facts and problematic witnesses is imperative to your success at trial. In this Trial Tutorial, veteran trial attorneys Daniel Kramer and Teresa Johnson of Kramer Trial Lawyers will demonstrate the different techniques they employ during trial to handle harmful facts and witnesses through various phases of trial. From unsympathetic witness rehabilitation, to facts that tell a story contrary to your theory of the case, this program will explore the techniques seasoned trial attorneys employ to not only minimize the damage of these unsavory witnesses and evidence, but turn them into an asset for their case. Following the demonstration, the program will include in-depth analysis of the techniques and strategy choices and ample opportunity for questions.
