“I think he got the ‘100%’ denial quote he wanted, which they probably plan on proving false later, to discredit the witness.”
I was thinking that, too. But I expected the lawyer to IMMEDIATELY show the evidence to discredit the witness. (Like on TV, y’know - LOL!) I don’t know when the opportunity will arise later.
I definitely would have preferred that, myself. I can only guess he wants to have someone else present the evidence to lend it more credibility. What would be great is if he can get multiple things on the record that contradict that guy, then call him back later, and destroy him completely. We can hope, I guess!
