Hey The Advocate Tutor. Thanks for sharing this, I have learned a new way of questioning in cross examination. However, I don't think our Benchers here in Sierra Leone will appreciate such statements ('Statement Questions') as questions. But thanks though👍

@alphavandi8403 Thanks for watching and for your comment! It's great to hear that you've gained a new perspective on questioning techniques. Yes, it's important to remember that courtroom techniques, etiquette and preferences can vary widely between different regions and legal systems. While statement questions can be effective in some contexts, it's always best to adapt to the style that best suits your local court's expectations. Perhaps these techniques can be modified or reserved for situations where they are more likely to be received positively.
