Is it proper to cross-examine for the purpose of discrediting the reliability or credibility of an adverse witness whom you know to be telling the truth?

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

one must conclude that the attorney is obligated to

attack, if he can, the reliability or credibility of an opposing witness

whom he knows to be truthful. The contrary result would inevitably

impair the "perfect freedom of consultation by client with attorney,"

which is "essential to the administration of justice."
