Lawyer Les Wexner’s microphone gets a huge response

“So, can witnesses be interrogated by the other party’s lawyer and receive guidance from the lawyer at the same time? When does that start?” a netizen asked on X. Another added, “Is this true? Because if it were true, then this kind of elder abuse would be illegal.”
There is another person who claims to be a lawyer. explain “There is a difference between witness preparation and coaching. Attorneys can and should prepare clients for depositions, including advising them to give succinct, factual answers and to avoid volunteering additional information. Limiting gibberish is common advice. However, this must be done before testifying or during appropriate breaks, and not through threats or intimidation during the deposition. Pressuring them through fear to give ultra-brief answers can lead to improper coaching and hinder true testimony.”
They added, “Testimony requires true, complete responses (under oath). Clients must answer fully and honestly. A lawyer’s role is to protect privilege, raise valid objections, and ensure clients understand the issues, not to bully them into minimalism that can lead to incomplete or misleading testimony. Lawyers, we should report this lawyer to the Bar.”
