Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Opinions regarding the cross-examination of O.J. Simpson and the ill-fitting glove will vary. Cross-examination is the cornerstone of the adversarial system and is designed to ensure the veracity of the testifying witness, to show the facts in the most favorable light to the cross-examiner's side and sometimes used to impeach a witness. Questions presented during cross-examination are limited to those areas that were originally examined during direct. However, greater latitude is given to attorneys during cross-examination because of the uncertainty of the content of the witness' testimony. The exploratory nature of cross-examination may also lead to perils unanticipated by the examiner.
