cross-examination = re-questioning of a witness who has already been questioned by the other side in court
I believe it's a sort of legal rule, a sort of legal tradition—for all investigating lawyers—to begin their attack from afar, with a trivial, or at least an irrelevant subject, so as to encourage, or rather, to divert the man they are cross-examining, to disarm his caution and then all at once to give him an unexpected knock-down blow with some fatal question.†
Chpt 4.5

Definitions:

(1) (cross-examination)
