Hardball questions do pay off; Cornelius Pitts

Article Abstract:

Criminal defense attorney Cornelius Pitts believes that unyielding cross-examination is the key to winning and that every witness's testimony contains inconsistencies which the defense attorney can exploit. He believes a criminal defense attorney is there to attack and rarely puts on witnesses himself. As to jury selection, he finds non-professionals more understanding of the emotional aspects of a criminal trial.
