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, bigoted, 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 bastards asks that bitch if
> she knows me, I'll throw your sorry asses
> in jail for contempt."
