Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since Toppers's attorney called Vicky as the witness and is questioning her, it is the direct examination. Cross-examination is when the opposing counsel questions the witness, recross-examination is when the original counsel questions the witness again after cross-examination, and redirect examination is when the original counsel questions the witness again after the opposing counsel's cross-examination. None of these apply in this scenario.
