Sometimes during the trial, a witness will refuse to answer or try and evade a question so the prosecution/defense will often ask the judge presiding over the case for permission to treat the witness as hostile. What this means is when a witness is called to the stand, their testimony is expected to support the argument of the side that subpoenaed them. If the witness becomes evasive or changes their testimony on the stand, the (E.)A.D.A.'s/Defense Attorny's are given permission by the judge to treat the witness as if he were called to the stand by the opposing side which legally changes the nature of the questions and language the lawyer uses to ask them. That is to say, the direct examination becomes a cross-examination, allowing either the prosecution or defense to use leading questions, giving the lawyer who is questioning the witness more latitude to suggest how the witness should answer.
