How to 'Boil the Frog' in Cross-Examination

Sonia describes the technique of ‘boiling the frog’. This is where an advocate gradually leads a witness through a series of questions, starting with non-contentious ones and progressively moving to more critical issues. This technique aims to get the witness to make small admissions without realising the cumulative impact, ultimately leading to a significant admission or contradiction. This method helps avoid alerting the witness and keeps them from becoming defensive, making it a powerful tool in cross-examination.
