After Billie Burke character testifies her direct examination the prosecution rests,then the defense waives cross examination, and the prosecutor wants to ask more questions. Can he do that? I mean how can he re-direct if there was no cross examination?

I don't recall this scene (I don't doubt it's there - I just don't remember it) but with the permission of the court and particularly with no objection from the other side just about anything is possible, especially in a remote location.
