The questioning of an opposing witness during a trial is called:

  1. Direct examination

  2. Re-cross examination

  3. Re-direct examination

  4. Cross-examination

The correct answer is: Cross-examination

Cross-examination is the process of questioning an opposing witness during a trial. It differs from direct examination, which is questioning a witness by the attorney who called them to the stand, and re-direct examination, which is additional questioning by the original attorney after cross-examination. Re-cross examination is a term used to describe questioning a witness again after they have already been subject to cross-examination.
