Most trial lawyers like me ENJOY cross-examination. It's where we can really go after inconsistencies and lies. Didn't happen in Ferguson GJ- So many missed opportunities for cross examination of Wilson. Should have been a grueling session, not the tea party the transcript shows.
- How Wilson shd have been cross-ex'd: how did Brown solidly, "full force" punch you 2x in face, & yet you have no injuries to reflect that?
- Key to cross-exam would be requiring Wilson to explain how Brown's allegedly taking one step toward Wilson is "charging" him.
- Wilson testified he didn't think about whether Mike Brown was armed, but then he focuses on Brown's hand in waistband. Implication is weapon
- A good trial lawyer doesn't assume. Wilson: Brown's hand in waistband. Make him say he feared weapon.Then confront him w prior contrary stmt
- Hospital records for Darren Wilson's same day visit: "well-appearing, well-nourished, in no apparent distress." No one asks him to explain
- Wilson hospital record: "no bleeding, no laceration, no ecchymosis [bruises]" A cross-examiner's dream, but no c-x of Wilson on this, natch
