Finally at the end of the case you can “argue” the case, explaining why based upon the evidence, the court should find any particular witnesses credible or not-credible and why the evidence proves that you are entitled to a judgment against the other party. You have to make those objections at the time the evidence is being introduced. When the other parties witnesses are testifying or when they are cross-examining your witnesses or trying to introduce evidence, if that testimony or evidence violates a rule of evidence you may object and ask the court not to consider the evidence. After the other party finishes, you may want to call any rebuttal witnesses to testify. You don’t get to simply state “that’s not true” or to argue with the witness - it is the time to grill the witness if necessary with questions designed to show the witness is lying, simply is mistaken, doesn’t know or to elicit contradictory testimony. You should be prepared to ask questions called “cross-examination” of that witness. Any relevant documents properly authenticated should be made part of the evidence by asking the court to “move the document into evidence.” When you are done, the other side may first argue to the court that even if everything you said was true, it is not enough to support your case - This is called a “motion to strike the evidence.” If the motion is overruled, then the other side can present witnesses and exhibits. Each of your witnesses may be cross examined by the other party. That is, you put on your witnesses and you may testify. The plaintiff usually presents their evidence first.
