Praise for MacCarthy on Impeachment: How to Find and Use These Weapons of Mass Destruction "[T]his new work . . . separately identifies sixteen different ways to impeach a witness and includes fascinating examples of each, sprinkled with advice about how to maximize the impact on the jury and pitfalls to be avoided. Trial lawyers will no doubt be the principal beneficiaries of the book, but other readers will also enjoy Terry's breezy style and his se-lection of illustrative dialogues between defense counsel and hypothetical witnesses. This work is a welcome addition to the literature on a critical aspect of trial practice" FROM THE FOREWORD BY JUSTICE JOHN PAUL STEVENS MET.) "Terry MacCarthy has tried cases and mentored lawyers for decades. He is one of the true heroes of the trial bar. In this book, Terry has systematized the rules and techniques of impeachment. These are lessons that you will use at trial, to be sure. But you will also find them essential as you conduct discovery, seeking weaknesses in the other side's case. You will use these lessons as you prepare your own witnesses for the rigors of cross. A magnificent book!" MICHAEL E. TIGAR - AUTHOR OF EXAMINING WITNESSES AND PERSUASION: THE LITIGATOR'S ART "For die-hard trial lawyers, impeachment is the most fun you can have with your clothes on. Finally, here is a guide on how to make impeachment the most effective weapon in your courtroom arsenal. Using understandable analogies, legendary trial guru Terry MacCarthy and his sons analyze sixteen different ways to impeach a witness (who know there were so many?), rank the effectiveness of each approach, and provide practical, real-life examples of how the cross-examination should be conducted. Run out, buy this book, and keep it under your pillow the night before a tough cross-examination:' HANOI MCGINN - MCGINN. CARPENTER, MONTOYA AND LOVE, P.A., ALBUQUERQUE, NM "A must read for anyone who calls oneself a trial lawyer! The only thing better than learning from Terry MacCarthy, the master of cross-examination, is to also be allowed to learn from the next generation of MacCarthy greats, his sons Sean and Terry. Together, the three of them have fashioned the seminal approach to impeachment. They teach the subject practically, with humor, insight, and humility. The greatest value of this book, and there are many, is the way in which it provides a clear understanding of the method of impeachment and the means to accomplish it while never losing sight of the courtroom.
