Getting a witness to confess\Nis perhaps the most challenging

yet fun parts of being a trial attorney.

You start with softballs,
questions about their personal life,
family, anything to warm them up.
You're no longer a lawyer.
You're a detective in an interrogation.
You don't ask for the truth.
You pound it out of them,
relentless in your pursuit\Nof the answer you want.
