I’ve been watching a few trials online and it seems the opposing lawyer always asks the person on the stand if they talked about their testimony with their lawyer before the trial – like it’s a bad thing? I would think it’s common sense to speak to your lawyer about possible questions you could be asked before you testify…..

It’s so the lawyer can label the testimony of the opposing witnesses “rehearsed” or “prepared’ and therefore not as reliable. Whether that works or not will depend on the jury. Personally I would expect anybody to prepare for giving testimony but some people who don’t like lawyers in general won’t see it that way.
