interrogatorio directo...{see below}
As I mentioned on my discussion entry, typical American court lingo, they always eat the word "examination"
to conduct direct examination..
direct examination = interrogatorio directo
cross-examination = contrainterrogatorio, repregunta
re-direct examination = segundo interrogatorio directo
recross = segundo contrainterrogatorio
Hope this helps

Technically, they are missing the nouns. The listed terms re-direct and re-cross are elliptical phrases of the full terms re-direct examination and re-cross examination. However, in legal jargon the noun examination gets dropped and re-direct and re-cross are used as a noun.
The terms preguntas and repreguntas are natural equivalents used in Spanish and Latin-American courts for direct examination and cross examination. I haven't been able to find a natural equivalent for re-direct and re-cross, but I think that my suggestions may work.
