Every trial lawyer encounters them - the witness who refuses to agree with even the most obvious point. Show them a photo of their car, and they claim they cannot recognize it. Confront them with a prior statement, and they insist it is inaccurate. This is a strategy to frustrate you, to block you, and to control the narrative. How do jurors react? They see someone trying to hide something. Use this behavior to your advantage, showing the witness lacks credibility.
