If a defendant is represented by a lawyer in a criminal trial, would the defendant be allowed to question a witness -- or is this something only the lawyer can do?
Answer
The lawyer does on behalf of the accused. The defendant can only ask the witness questions if he or she is self representing.
Answer
Only through the attorney.
If a defendant (foolishly) chooses to represent themselves, then the would question the witnesses on cross-examination.
