TT - Actual stupid questions asked by lawyers

The below excerpts appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune. They were taken from real court records.




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?


Q: What happened then?

A: He told me, he says, "I have to kill you because you can identify me."

Q: Did he kill you?


Was it you or your brother that was killed in the war?


The youngest son, the 20-year-old, how old is he?


Q: She had three children, right?

A: Yes.

Q: How many were boys?

A: None.

Q: Were there any girls?


Were you alone or by yourself?


Q: I show you Exhibit 3 and ask you if you recognize that picture?

A: That's me.

Q: Were you present when that picture was taken?


Were you present in court this morning when you were sworn in?


Q: You say that the stairs went down to the basement?

A: Yes.

Q: And these stairs, did they go up also?


Q: Now then, Mrs. Johnson, how was your first marriage terminated?

A: By death.

Q: And by whose death was it terminated?Q: Do you know how far pregnant you are now?


A: I'll be three months on March 12th.

Q: Apparently then, the date of conception was around January 12th?

A: Yes.

Q: What were you doing at that time?


Do you have any children or anything of that kind?


Was that the same nose you broke as a child?

These were very good. Are we allowed to laugh or will the gavel come down on us?

I've seen these all over grouped with others. Pretty funny, and I guess you just have to assume they were working with some pretty serious sleep deprivation!

I've always wondered if one day I'd wake up dead...!

Some of those sound like they ought to be rhetorical questions, but somehow I doubt they are...

I like the "did he kill you?" depo question. How like real life...

it also gave rise to the need for a fresh start, which came in the form of the next blues-only
venue, Antone's, founded by the late Clifford Antone, during the summer of 1975.

' Satanic Ritual - Decorate the space with human sacrifice, goblets of blood, pentagrams, and things draped in black. The game was released on August 3, and is in stores now, but probably is where it will remain, sad to say. At each house you have the hostess serve something small to eat, and host a small game.
