382 53 53 Prohibition of leading questions on direct examination under Tex. R. Evid. 611(c) Pohl opposition Leading questions should not be used on direct examination; exception for hostile/adverse witnesses requires a showing Kassab has not made. Favre has been aligned with Kassab throughout the case.
383 53 53 Hostile witness exception under Tex. R. Evid. 611(c) — rebutted Kassab argument Kassab claims Favre is hostile due to (1) nonsuit, (2) attorney dispute, and (3) scheduling refusal. Pohl argues all three fail: nonsuit doesn't create hostility, attorney tension is not witness hostility, and scheduling issue occurred after questions were served.
384 53 53 Form objections to DWQ questions are proper on their face Pohl opposition Evidence is not always necessary to support form objections (In re Union Pac.). Questions with typos, vagueness, lack of temporal scope, and calls for speculation are facially objectionable.
