| 单词 | cross-examination |
| 释义 | cross-examination cross-examination in court practice, the part of a case, whether civil or criminal, where evidence is elicited from the other side's witness. Thus, the defence will cross-examine the investigating police officers after the prosecutor has conducted the EXAMINATION IN CHIEF. It serves two functions:(1) to test the veracity of the witness and the accuracy of the evidence; (2) to obtain evidence on points on which he has not been questioned in chief and which may support the cross-examiner's case. Failure to cross-examine on any matter generally implies acceptance of evi- dence on that point. |
