Cross-Examination
During the cross-examination process, the opposing side is given the opportunity to demonstrate that the witness they are examining is not credible, is lying, or does not possess the qualifications or ability to assert opinions that are relevant to the case. You can also attempt to get the witness to admit the facts that will help your case.
During cross-examination you do not want to allow the witness the opportunity to get out any damaging testimony. Try and ask questions that require a yes nor no answer. Only ask questions that you know the answer to or that you know will discredit the opposing side's argument.
You may want to consider using the following structure or a variation of:
Attorney: "Isn't it true that_________________________________?"
"Isn't is true that you really couldn't see outside because it was dark?"
