COMPLETE: The Art of Cross-Examination -jo

Hi Joanne

Sections 3 and 4 PL OK

In Section 4, you missed:
29:04 – (Impressively, but quietly) – referring to the Counsel voice
35:40 – (perfectly quietly) – referring to the Counsel voice
But I don’t think it’s really necessary in this case, once you used your voice to give this impression quite well.

What a lesson this book is! Thanks for the opportunity of listening to it.

Thanks, Rachel. I've posted Section 5 for you--cross-examination of experts.

Hi Joanne.

Section 5 - PL OK

The cases are becoming more and more interesting!

I agree! I've posted a few more chapters for you (6, 7, and 8).

Thanks for listening,

Joanne

Hi Joanne.

Only a minor "point" (I couldn't even say "problem") in all the three chapters.

Chapter 6 - the silence at the end has only 4,100 seconds. Could you, please, make it a bit longer, around 5 seconds? This is all.

Chapters 7 and 8 - PL OK.

In chapter 7, Silent Cross -Examination, Mr Wellman got me with one of his advices: "It can be done by a good actor in such a manner as to be equivalent to saying to the juri, "What is the use? She is only a woman". Well, I would say that he is just a man from the XIX century.
But I notice that a bit further he gives an argument, for preventing someone, nowadays, to say anything like his previous advice: "Since the sole object of cross-examination is to break the force of the adversary testimony, it must be remembered that a futile attempt only strenghtens the witness with the jury."

Well, I was posting the above, when I saw Chapter 9 ready. And decided to do the PL on the spot.

Chapter 9 PL OK

Rachel, I've added a bit more silence to the end of section 6, and it's ready for your spot check.

Thanks,

Joanne

Rachel, I'm finally able to get back to this. Chapter 10 is ready for you.

Thanks for listening,

Joanne

Nice to have you back, Joanne,

I believe Section 10 is PL OK, but it would be better if you could add some time to the silence at the end.
It should be around 5 seconds and has 4.371.

Just that.

Thanks.

Rachel

Okay, I'll get that fixed later today.

Thanks, Rachel.

Sorry, yesterday got away from me! I've added a bit to the end of section 10 so the time is now 48:16, and updated the MW.

Thanks, Rachel!

Rachel, chapter 11 is ready for you. No hurry--I'll be out of town later in the week, back on Tuesday.

Thanks for listening,

Joanne

Hi Joanne.

Chapter XI PL OK.

Uau! What an end

This is an inductive method, certainly!
