A: In legal proceedings, the ability to recall a co-defendant for further cross-examination after they have finished testifying can depend on various factors, including the rules and procedures of the specific jurisdiction, the nature of the case, and the discretion of the court. While I cannot provide information on a specific case that went to the Circuit Court of Appeal or the United States Supreme Court addressing this exact proposition, it's worth noting that courts have the authority to manage the proceedings and allow or deny requests for recalling witnesses based on the specific circumstances and the interests of justice.
