Deep dives

Sam's evasiveness and refusal to answer straightforwardly

During the cross-examination, Sam displayed a pattern of evasiveness and refusal to answer questions straightforwardly. Even when asked benign questions, he would either claim not to remember or provide vague responses. This behavior was evident when discussing topics such as safeguarding customer assets and making public statements. He appeared semantic and pedantic in his responses, often avoiding direct admission. This strategy seemed to backfire, leading to a perception of arrogance and guilt in the eyes of the jury.
