Description

This week, former Army JAG and prosecutor Sharif Gray of RVA Trial Lawyers joins Kenny Berger to show why the most persuasive directs are facilitated stories, not scripted performances and how that mindset sharpens your redirect, too.

You’ll hear about:

  • A simple setup for direct
  • How to use one-page outlines and open-ended prompts that keep jurors engaged
  • Smart witness sequencing (credibility first, client last) to reinforce your theme
  • When to use redirect and when to sit down

If you want to achieve direct examinations that actually help tell the story, this one’s worth a listen. Press play and take a few ideas to court next week.
