Mahkemede aleyhinizdeki şahitin yalancı olduğunu nasıl kanıtlarsınız?

There's a old Nasreddin Hoca story where a friend asks him to lie in court as a witness. The friend tells Hoca, "When the judge asks you if my gold coins were stolen, please say, "yes." The big day comes. The judge asks Hoca about the coins. Hoca says, "Yes, this man's silver coins were stolen." His friend rushes to him afterwards and asks, "Why did you say SILVER? You were supposed to say that my GOLD coins were stolen!" Hoca says, "What difference does it make when it's a lie!" This is a fun story, but if you're in court and a witness is hurting your case, what can you do?

When a witness is damaging to your case, your goal as an attorney is to show that the witness cannot be believed. Under the Rules of Evidence, this is called "impeaching" a witness. It has nothing to do with impeachment we see with political figures. Here, impeachment means you show that the witness is not credible Tanıklık nedir?

How do you do this? It's actually a big subject that covers many evidence rules. But in a nutshell, here are some of the strategies attorneys use. Most courtrooms are not as emotionally charged as this - Cengiz ve Eyşan mahkeme sahnesi https://youtube.com/shorts/C9Y1CW_jeJU?si=Tj9HEAPX86fwRORT

You show that the witness's testimony is inconsistent (BİRBİRİNİ TUTMAYAN)

You show that the witness has an interest in the matter (MENFAAT)

You show that the witness dislikes the person and wants to hurt them (NEFRET)

You show that the witness LIKES the person and is trying to protect them (SEVGİ)

You show the witness's bad character (GÜVENİLMEZ)

It's funny that Nasreddin Hoca's wisdom could hold true in many legal settings - BURADA TEK SUÇLU OLAN BEN DEĞİLİM https://www.communityabroad.com/turkish/post/1000000050815

There is much more to this subject. The point is that in court, it's important to pay close attention to what's being said. You have to look at the witness and sometimes ask why they are saying those things.
