How can you deal with rapid-fire questions during a cross-examination?

What will be an ideal response?

ANSWER: During examinations, lawyers aren’t supposed to ask another question until you have finished answering the current question. However, the opposing counsel sometimes uses rapid-fire questions during cross-examination that are meant to throw you off. Taking a moment to turn toward the jury before you answer gives you more control over the timing and speed opposing attorney’s examination. Even though your attorney should object by saying, “Counsel has not allowed the witness to answer the question,” don’t be afraid to regroup and restate your answers if you get confused during your testimony. Jurors will sympathize because often they are confused by the opposing attorney’s questions, too.
