My team does this all the time, and it works really well for us (just finished up my best scoring year yet as a _very_ problematic eyewitness so I would know lol). We call it “exploding our own bombs”

Love it!
I'm directing an expert witness this summer and part of their testimony strongly points towards a conclusion that doesn't agree with what we are arguing, so I'm going to do part of the direct and then declare the witness as hostile just to ask questions about that part😂
