THINGS SAID IN A COURTROOM

Featured Replies

The last 4 5 are hysterical!!

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 that had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.  They are hilarious.

____________________________________________________________

notice which I sent to your attorney?

WITNESS: No, this is how I dress when I go to work.

____________________________________________________

ATTORNEY: Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead

people?

rephrase that? ______________________________________

ATTORNEY: ALL your responses MUST be oral, OK? What school did you go to?

WITNESS: Oral.

______________________________________

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

WITNESS: The autopsy started around 8:30 p.m.

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....are you qualified to ask that question?

_____________________________________________________________

--- 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: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?

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

law.

Pretty good.

The sad thing is at my Court, I wouldn't be suprised if any of the lawyers said that.  I even have a singing judge.  

That was the funniest thing I've read in a long time.  Thanks for sharing those.  Do you have a link for the book.  I'd like to purchase a copy and read all of them. :)

Try googling it....I have no idea where to get it from.  But I might look into it myself...these were too funny not to share.
