But it's an art form.

The main rule is never ask a question you don't know the answer to.

Yes.

So if you're going to get a question fired at you, you can assume there's other evidence to back that.

And so as much as witnesses want to lie or minimise, you will get caught out.

Well, that's interesting.

Well, in terms of answers from the accused person,

Depending on the case strategy, often we'll advise our clients to not give evidence.

So you might not get answers from the accused.

Obviously, you'll get answers from various witnesses giving evidence.

Yeah, you'll get it teased out, the crime teased out.

But the thing is, with trials...

you're not necessarily there to find the truth.

It's not a fact-finding exercise.

We're not trying to gather information.

We're trying to establish if someone is guilty beyond reasonable doubt.

So what the prosecution presents and elicits through its witnesses

it's not necessarily designed to get more answers for the victims, unfortunately.

And I know this sounds cruel, but the prosecution's job is to put enough out there to convince the jury this crime happened beyond reasonable doubt.

Whereas defence's role, if we're fighting the case, is to elicit information or challenge the evidence as to its credibility or reliability to show the jury that they cannot be satisfied beyond reasonable doubt.
