In court - long but worth the read! lol?

These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are


things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now


published by court reporters who had the torment of staying calm while


these exchanges were actually taking place. It's worth reading to the end!


Those of you who have worked with attorneys will find this very easy to


understand. Others will find it easier.

WITNESS: No, I just lie there.

he doesn't know about it until the next morning?

people?

ATTORNEY: Do you recall the time that you examined the body?

ATTORNEY: And Mr. Denton was dead at the time?


WITNESS: No, he was sitting on the table wondering why I was doing an


autopsy on him!


______________________________________...





ATTORNEY: Are you qualified to give a urine sample?


WITNESS: Huh?

And the best for last





ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a


pulse?


WITNESS: No.


ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure?


WITNESS: No.


ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing?


WITNESS: No.


ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began


the autopsy?


WITNESS: No.


ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor?


WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.


ATTORNEY: But could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?


WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing


law.
