  You have no idea what you’re talking about.

  This is pretty ironic.

  Witness testimony in court is not “just an accusation”. It’s corroborated by cross examination.

  Cross examination is where the opposing council questions the witness in an attempt to poke holes in their testimony, point out inconsistencies and otherwise discredit the witness.

  While corroboration means:

  To strengthen or support with other evidence; make more certain. synonym: confirm.

  Cross examination, be definition, is the exact opposite of corroboration.

    If the cross examination fails to do that, it’s confirmed.

      That’s not how that works at all.
