The Witness the Defense Couldn’t Put Away in the Kouri Richins' Trial

What happens when a former friend takes the stand and has to choose between loyalty and truth? In this video, I break down Becky Lloyd’s testimony in the Kouri Richins trial and explain why reluctant witnesses are often some of the most believable witnesses a jury will ever hear. Tony DeWitt, Missouri appellate attorney, retired, analyzes the direct and cross-examination of Becky Lloyd, a former friend of Kouri Richins who testified about a troubling statement allegedly made months before Eric Richens’ death. I also look at the defense strategy, the impeachment attempt with prior recorded statements, and why some cross-examination questions can do more harm than good. This video covers witness credibility, reluctant testimony, impeachment, speculation objections, demeanor evidence, and the difference between loyalty to a friend and the duty to tell the truth under oath.
