Product Description

When a witness' testimony damages your case, you need to be able to show they are biased, mistaken, impaired, or at the very least, inconsistent. Successful impeachment is the product of effective investigation and preparation.

Does the witness have a prior conviction? A reason to lie? Does the witness have a reason to expect favorable treatment from the Commonwealth? Is there a reason to doubt the witness' ability to perceive, remember, and articulate correctly?

Spend an hour learning the strategy and mastering the techniques.
