A quick definition of recross-examination:

Recross-examination is when a lawyer asks questions to a witness for a second time, after the opposing lawyer has asked questions during redirect examination. Cross-examination is when a lawyer asks questions to a witness who was called to testify by the opposing party. The purpose of cross-examination is to challenge the credibility of the witness and to bring out any contradictions or doubts in their testimony. During cross-examination, the lawyer is allowed to ask leading questions, but is limited to topics covered in direct examination and credibility issues.

A more thorough explanation:

Recross-examination is a second round of questioning of a witness by the opposing party's lawyer, after the redirect examination. It is often abbreviated as "recross." This questioning is done to challenge the credibility of the witness or to bring out contradictions and inconsistencies in their testimony.

During a trial, the prosecution calls a witness to testify. The defense lawyer then cross-examines the witness to challenge their testimony. The prosecution may then redirect-examine the witness to clarify any issues raised during cross-examination. Finally, the defense lawyer may conduct a recross-examination to further challenge the witness's credibility or testimony.

Another example could be during a hearing, a witness is called to testify about an incident. The opposing party's lawyer cross-examines the witness, and then the party who called the witness redirects the examination. Finally, the opposing party's lawyer conducts a recross-examination to challenge the witness's testimony further.

Recross-examination is a legal term used in court proceedings. It is a process where the opposing party's lawyer gets a second chance to question a witness after the redirect examination. The purpose of recross-examination is to challenge the credibility of the witness or to bring out any inconsistencies in their testimony. This process helps the fact-finder to determine the truthfulness of the witness's testimony.
