A DAY AT THE
BAR
Recently reported in the Massachusetts Bar
Association Lawyers Journal, the following are questions
actually asked of witnesses by attorneys during trials
and, in certain cases, the responses given by insightful
witnesses.
 Now doctor, isn't it true that
when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know about it
until the next morning?
Q: Are you qualified to give a
urine sample?
A: I have been since early childhood.
Were you present when your
picture was taken?
Q: Do you recall the time that
you examined the body?
A: The autopsy started around 8:30 p.m.
Q: And Mr. Dennington was dead at the time?
A: No, he was sitting on the table wondering why I was
doing an autopsy.
Was it you or your younger
brother who was killed in the war?
Q: Doctor, how many autopsies
have you performed on dead people?
A: All my autopsies are performed on dead people.
You were there until the time you
left, is that true?
Q: So the date of conception (of
the baby) was August 8th?
A: Yes.
Q: And what were you doing at that time?
Q: You say the stairs went down
to the basement?"
A: Yes.
Q: And these stairs, did they go up also?
Q: Can you describe the
individual?
A: He was about medium height and had a beard.
Q: Was this a male, or a female?
Q: Is your appearance here this
morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent to
your attorney?
A: No, this is how I dress when I go to work.
