Someone clarify for me because the way I saw it the bumbling lawyers knew they wanted to nail her to the wall but we’re just inept as hell.

The examination of a witness in a trial is an extremely difficult proposition and is nothing like you ever witness on television or even in general hearings

There are limitations on what can be asked, the manner in which it is asked and specific limitations on how you would impeach the credibility of a witness.

Unless there is absolute prior testimony that contradicts her current testimony for a piece of documentary evidence that specifically robots what was said There are limitations on how to impeach

However, laying the groundwork for argument I think it was done properly in this case.
