During cross-examination, the attorney tries to undermine or impeach the witness's credibility. The attorney attempts to show that the witness is not reliable. The attorney might also try to show that the witness is biased or prejudiced toward a party in the case. Another way to undermine the witness's credibility is to show that the witness has a stake in the outcome of the case, which might influence his/her testimony. The attorney can also question the witness about any felony criminal convictions or about any crimes involving dishonesty. Just as on direct examination, the opposing party's attorney can raise objections to the questions posed to the witness. The judge then rules on the objection.
