Because even if you think ahead and write the details down, then a defense will make you seem like a suspect.[/quote]

Yeah, they questioned her extensively on whether she prepared for her testimony making it sound suspicious, but then if she doesn't phrase things the same, that's also suspicious.[/quote]

She needs to recount the same information, even with different words. It’s important to note when the client is stating something different from what was previously stated under oath.

I understand that. I'm just not finding this compelling if I were a juror. He's asking about a lot more than the relevant question "I hit him!" vs "Did I hit him?" to impeach her like she's lying about everything, and it's having the opposite effect on me, making me believe she's generally truthful. Do you find this cross effective?[/quote]

NP I did not find it effective because the important point was getting lost and unclear and he was badgering without getting much out of her. It’s very obviously crucial to not claim an accused person said “I hit him I hit him I hit him” if you have any doubt about her saying it or not. So how can she be so sure now, but was not at first? Would the cop not include something this crucial in the report? That is doubtful, but making that point by asking the cop would be better. My impression is she is either lying or made false distorted memories which is very common when recalling events too many times. [/quote]
