I find it interesting that you are seemingly unable to bring up such questions as "Why would the defendant attack her own sister?", "How could she reach the victim's head when she is shorter than the victim?", "Why did she hang around after the deed was done instead of getting away?".

Except for the second one, these are speculative questions for the witness and would be objected to in regular court! The second one is a bad question for an adverse witness because it's open to them making up another bullshit but internally-consistent detail to fit their story. All of these points are best raised in argument to raise a reasonable doubt. Unfortunately, there are no submissions in Japanifornia, so it's just the reverse onus.

Is this...this might be the first time Phoenix has cited any kind of authority in court?!
