That Lawyer is a liar
Why Lawyers should never ask a witness a question if they aren’t
prepared for the answer:In a trial, a Southern small town prosecuting attorney called his first
witness to the stand-a-grandmotherly, elderly woman. He approached her
and asked, “Mrs.Jones,do you know me?”She responded,”Why, yes I do know you,Mr.Williams. I’ve know you since
you were a young boy, and frankly, you’ve been a big disappointment to
me.You lie,you cheat on your wife, you manipulate people and talk about
them behind their backs. You think you’re a big shot when you haven’t the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.“The Lawyer was stunned.Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across
the room and asked, “Mrs.Jones.do you know the defense attorney?“She again replied, “Why yes, I do. I’ve known Mr.Bradley since he was
a youngster,too. He’s lazy, bigotted,and he has a drinking problem.
He can’t build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is
one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his
wife with three different women, one of them was your wife. Yes, I
know him.”The defense attorney almost died. The judge asked both counselors to
approach the bench, and in a very quiet voice, said,”If either of you
fools asks her if she knows me, I’ll throw your sorry butts in jail for
contempt.”John
