A subpoena, of course, is a formal document that you send to somebody and say, I want you to show up and testify.
Now, once you are subpoenaed, that is an order of the court, as you've heard us talk about before.
If you ignore the order of the court, you can be held in contempt.
The court can put you in jail because you have ignored an order of the court.
Now, what will end up happening a lot of times in our situations is if you send a subpoena to somebody who does not want to testify and does not want to help you, they can be seen as hostile.
You should be very careful of putting somebody who hates you on your stand to help your case out.
That is what's called a hostile witness.
That witness is hostile to your position.
Under the rules of the courtroom, and not to get too fancy, but usually what ends up happening is...
When Blake is asking questions of a witness on her side, she cannot ask what are called leading questions.
All she can ask are things as, can you tell me what happened next?
Taylor, what happened when this happened?
Taylor, tell me about this.
That's what you do with your own witness.
Now, when a witness is hostile to your position,
you can ask what are called leading questions.
Isn't it true you hate me?
Isn't it true you sent blank?
Isn't it true?
Because what we're basically doing, as you remember from the Diddy trial, Anushka, you're cross-examining your own witness because they are hostile to your position.
