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 known 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. Yes, I know him."
The defense attorney almost died!
At this point, the judge brought the courtroom to silence, called
both counselors to the bench,
and in a very quiet voice said, "If either of you bastards asks her if
she knows me, you'll be jailed for contempt."
