Zeus_Hunt Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Why Lawyers should never ask a witness a question if they aren'tprepared for the worst answer.In a trial, a Southern small town prosecuting attorney called his firstwitness to the stand. The witness was 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 known yousince you were a young boy and frankly, you've been a big disappointment tome. You lie, you cheat on your wife, you manipulate people and talk aboutthem behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't thebrains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paperpusher. Yes, I know you. "The prosecuting 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, Ido. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigotedand he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship withanyone and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not tomention he cheated on his wife with three different women, one of who was yourwife. Yes, I know him."The defense attorney almost died.The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench, and in a veryquiet voice, said, "If either of you bastards asks her if she knows me, I'llthrow you in jail for contempt.
