Why Cross-Examination is Crucial to Your Case
Proving your innocence can be challenging in a DWI case, especially when it is your word against a respected police officer's. That is why you need to work with a legal professional who knows how to cross-examine an officer in an effective manner. When I begin the cross-examination, I am fully prepared for the questions I am going to ask and often the answers I am going to hear. The goal is to get the officer to admit the truth that you and your lawyer already know so that the judge and jury can weigh in on the matter.
For example, I may seek to get an officer to admit that they:
- Had no valid reason to pull you over
- Failed to follow proper procedures
- Did not read you your rights
- Administered a test incorrectly
- Believes field sobriety tests are subjective
- Didn't calibrate chemical test equipment correctly
- Mishandled evidence from a chemical test
Whatever the weakness is in the prosecution's case against you, you can rest assured that I will do everything in my power to find it and use it on your behalf.
