Check from legal circles that the defense lawyer is very capable lawyer and has not less than20 or 30 years experience in criminal law.If yes then tell your friend to wait till that cross examination by the defense lawyer is over. If you successfully come out of cross examination you can ask for pardon and get out of jail.Act according to you are tutored by your lawyer. So there may not be any lapses in cross examination.
