CROSS examination/IMPEACHMENT - A Demonstration of Impeachment by Prior Inconsistent Statement

Professor Wes Porter, Director of the GGU Litigation Center at Professor Wes Porter hosts this student demonstration on how to impeach a witness with their prior inconsistent statement.
Professor Wes Porter served as a trial attorney with the Department of Justice's Criminal Division, Fraud Section, in Washington D.C., the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Hawaii and the JAG Corps for the U.S. Navy stationed in the Trial Service Office Pacific. After lecturing, coaching mock trial and teaching as an adjunct professor for years, he moved to academia full-time teaching courses in Evidence, Criminal Law and Procedure, and skills courses like Trial Advocacy.

Professor Porter still teaches in law schools and trains lawyers new to the profession but he also presides over trials as a judge. To contact Professor Porter with questions, you may email him at [e-mail]. Aloha, WRP

This may be a little less dramatic than TV law, but as a former prosecutor I can say that there's nothing quite so thrilling as a killer impeachment in court.

What do you do now?

I used to do impeachments by omission all the time in state court. It was so much fun.
