This begins with the State attorney's direct examination of the witness. Next, the defense attorney may cross examine the witness. Upon completion, the district attorney may again question the witness. This is called redirect examination. This is the usual procedure.
Jury instructions precede closing arguments.
At this time, the judge will inform the jury of the issues to be decided and the rules of law that apply to the case. At the conclusion of all of the evidence, closing arguments will be presented. Closing arguments are not evidence, but are only summaries by both sides of the evidence presented during trial from their respective viewpoints. The State goes first, followed by the defense attorney. The State is then allowed a rebuttal argument.
