Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cross-examination is the questioning of a witness by the opposing side, usually to challenge the witness's testimony or credibility. Direct examination is the questioning of a witness by the party who called them to testify. Preponderance of the evidence is a standard of proof in civil cases, meaning that the evidence must show that it is more likely than not that the defendant committed the act alleged. Res judicata is a legal principle that a matter that has been adjudicated by a competent court cannot be pursued again by the same parties. A directed verdict is a decision by a judge to end a trial and direct a verdict for one of the parties, usually because the evidence is insufficient to support a verdict for the other party.
