Badgering the Witness

Bankruptcy Court

When, instead of being questioned, a witness is subjected to derisive comments (“you expect the jury to believe that?”), legal arguments posed as questions (“with all the evidence against you, how can you deny that you stole the watch?), or questions that assume facts not in evidence (“there were ten people blocking your view, yet you can identify the security guard?”).
