It was a good to hear the entire story, though]]> 2021-04-07 17:39:37 UTC https://padlet.com/majohnson52/Bookmarks/wish/1392626675 A lot of emphasis on witness testimony, less so on overarching themes https://padlet.com/majohnson52/Bookmarks/wish/1392627809 2021-04-07 17:39:51 UTC https://padlet.com/majohnson52/Bookmarks/wish/1392627809 Petitioner https://padlet.com/majohnson52/Bookmarks/wish/1392628750 It painted a narrative and provided context for what happened]]> 2021-04-07 17:40:02 UTC https://padlet.com/majohnson52/Bookmarks/wish/1392628750 Petitioner https://padlet.com/majohnson52/Bookmarks/wish/1392630383 Was very well organized.

Included just enough facts and showed how Margaret is the one to blame by painting the story from her perspective ]]> 2021-04-07 17:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/majohnson52/Bookmarks/wish/1392633620 Respondent https://padlet.com/majohnson52/Bookmarks/wish/1392635614 Told a good story of how Ms. Barnes feels at the mercy of the system and her family.

Near end argued law and argued characterizations which is appropriate for closing - and would be great in closing.]]> 2021-04-07 17:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/majohnson52/Bookmarks/wish/1392660896 Petitioner majohnson52 https://padlet.com/majohnson52/Bookmarks/wish/1392666230 Great use of facts in opening but perhaps too much detail. The opening case theory of unstable and worried for safety could have been built into how the story was constructed more. Good to have ask at end.

It could have been very effective to go back to each step and ask her more questions on each one to get as much visual detail out to bring that scene to life. majohnson52 https://padlet.com/majohnson52/Bookmarks/wish/1393014254 2021-04-07 19:08:08 UTC https://padlet.com/majohnson52/Bookmarks/wish/1393014254 Direct - good way of making sure the facts were rejected by Margaret that could be used for each legal element for an intrafamily violence offense 0 not act punishable as a crime. No threat to commit such an act. majohnson52 https://padlet.com/majohnson52/Bookmarks/wish/1393017939 2021-04-07 19:09:11 UTC https://padlet.com/majohnson52/Bookmarks/wish/1393017939 Cross - good establishment of family relationship by blood and marriage for laying claim for the necessary relationship under the law for an intrafamily violence offense. majohnson52 https://padlet.com/majohnson52/Bookmarks/wish/1393021839 2021-04-07 19:10:18 UTC https://padlet.com/majohnson52/Bookmarks/wish/1393021839 Cross - you stayed strong when received an objection and answered calmly. That was very effective. (For future reference to impeach you want to commit to the statement on direct (you said not private); then credit the prior statement (you gave a deposition in this matter; swore to tell the truth; did tell the truth; reviewed the transcript from the deposition; had a chance to correct any errors; signed the deposition transcript as accurate; etc.); and then confront the witness with the statement in the depo (and here you CAN read the depo statement as long as it is directly contradictory to the statement on direct). We call this the Three Cs of Impeachment (Commit, credit, confront).) I think the problem here is - as Dakorah argued in her objection - the statement on direct was not directly contradictory to the deposition statement. Better to ask smaller facts on cross that match up with the statement. majohnson52 https://padlet.com/majohnson52/Bookmarks/wish/1393024213 2021-04-07 19:11:00 UTC https://padlet.com/majohnson52/Bookmarks/wish/1393024213 Cross - the ending was very effective getting Margaret to agree that Anthony cared about kids and her dad. It makes him more likable and without motive to lie. majohnson52 https://padlet.com/majohnson52/Bookmarks/wish/1393036631 2021-04-07 19:14:14 UTC https://padlet.com/majohnson52/Bookmarks/wish/1393036631 Petitioner https://padlet.com/majohnson52/Bookmarks/wish/1393051884 "unpredictable rage" was an interesting way to categorize it. Also pointing out that the CPO is in the interest of both parties, not only Anthony.
