Why Interview Prosecution Witnesses
The defense can gain significant benefits from trying to interview prosecution witnesses rather than relying on their statements. These include the ability to:
- Find leads for new evidence and people to interview.
- Gauge witnesses’ demeanor and credibility.
- Ferret out details of witnesses’ stories.
- Impeach witnesses who have made inconsistent statements.
- Establish a foundation for witnesses who are biased against the defendant.
