FAQ
Testifying for the defendant: Under common law, the defendant is allowed to call character witnesses to testify for his or her character.
Typically, the plaintiff will be cross-examined by defense counsel, which means the defense will be permitted to ask leading questions.
60-460. Hearsay evidence excluded; exceptions. Evidence of a statement which is made other than by a witness while testifying at the hearing, offered to prove the truth of the matter stated, is hearsay evidence and inadmissible except: (a) Previous statements of persons present.
Ingly, criminal defendants are generally advised not to testify in their own defense at trial. One of the great dangers of a defendant testifying in a criminal case is waiver of his right to remain silent which thus subjects him to cross-examination by the prosecution.
Both the defense and the prosecutor can call witnesses to testify or tell what they know about the situation. What the witness actually says in court is called testimony. In court, the witness is called to sit near the judge on the witness stand.
Simply put, a defendant can be a witness in their own criminal case. If you have been charged with a crime, you have the right to testify on your own behalf, and to raise your own defense. However, most criminal defendants don't testify in their criminal trials.
In civil cases, a party is entitled to call an adverse party or witness identified with him and interrogate by leading questions.
A lawyer may call any (relevant) person as a witness, including someone on the opposite side. That includes the plaintiff's lawyer/prosecutor calling the defendant. This is seldom done because by doing so, you have made this witness "your" witness, thereby meaningfully reducing your options.
