In the latest episode of his "Powerful Witness Preparation" podcast series, Do Not Volunteer Information, Holland & Knight litigation attorney Dan Small continues his in-depth 10-part series on the rules for witness preparation. In this episode Mr. Small focuses on what witnesses need to be prepared to do during the extended pause that will occur after some questions. After a witness has answered a question to the best of their ability they must stop. He continues to explain that the silence after the question is another aspect that people aren't prepared for when taking the stand.
