okay, I graduated from law school and even passed the bar, but it was almost twenty years ago and I immediately left that state for good, so I’m not a lawyer but could play one on tv. I think the answer is that the opposing council is only allowed to ask questions about what the witness witnessed. And you’re not supposed to ask leading questions, of course. So “would you agree Dr Bob says you’re obsessed with fire” is a leading question about something vague. “What did you overhear Dr Bob say to his colleague about you when you waited outside his office on January 4 2023” is a legit question. I think?
