I'm always encouraged by our legal system ...

these are real lawyer quotes (and some replies) during court sessions ...

1) Was that the same nose you broke as a child?
2) Now, doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, in most cases he just passes quietly away and doesn't know anything about it until the next morning?
3) What happened then?
He told me, he says, "I have to kill you because you can identify me."
Did he kill you?
4) Was it you or your brother that was killed in the war?
5) The youngest son, the 20-year-old, how old is he?
6) Were you alone or by yourself?
7) What is the meaning of sperm being present?
It indicates intercourse.
Male sperm?
That is the only kind I know.
8) Can you describe the individual?
He was about medium height and had a beard.
Was this a male or female?
9) How long have you been a French Canadian?
10) How far apart were the vehicles at the time of collision?
11) Mr. Clark, you went on a rather elaborate honeymoon, didn't you?
I went to Europe, sir.
And did you take your new wife?
12) Do you have any children or anything of that kind?
13) I show you Exhibit 3 and ask you if you recognize that picture.
That's me.
Were you present when that picture was taken?
