"A Law Enforcement Officer's Guide to Testifying in Court takes the fear and mystery out of courtroom proceedings. Through it, officers will learn how to shine on cross-examination, use rules of court to advantage, and thwart tricks used by defense lawyers. Most importantly, it will teach officers how to be persuasive in court." This is the only book of its kind to present knowledge gained from discussions with thousands of actual jurors after trials. It includes observations from the bench and research. This book is peppered with examples, many of them excerpted from actual trials, and contains an extensive list of things to do - and to avoid doing - on the witness stand.
