CNN's Kaitlan Collins

For the Defense with David Oscar Markus

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins joins David Oscar Markus and his University of Miami class to discuss everything from covering high profile trials to how to examine a difficult witness.

As criminal defense lawyers know, cross examining witnesses is one of the hardest things to do. There's a lot to be learned from journalists who do it live on the air with difficult politicians. And Kaitlan Collins is one of the best at doing it, facing off on a nightly basis with skilled speakers who have an agenda. In this episode, David and Kaitlan discuss how she prepares for her these interviews as well as lots of other interesting topics -- from cameras in the courtroom to how she got her start and so on. This podcast episode is a recording from David’s White Collar Law class at the University of Miami School of Law.
