D11 Attacking the Liar's "I Don't Remember" (Continued)
Session D: 3:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.
About the Program
Whether at trial or in deposition, the "yes/no" question frequently constitutes a Scylla & Charybdis problem for the adverse witness because the "yes" response is a case-harming admission and the "no" response creates a risk of impeachment, maybe a BIG risk of a BIG impeachment. Thus, the willing-to-lie witness attempts to avoid Scylla & Charybdis by claiming, "I don't remember" ... the all-time, every-case, toughest answer to prove a lie. This seminar teaches how best to attack that claim.
This seminar is a continuation of C11. It is recommended to attend both seminars.
