Hi ditter, I heard that too from the opening statement on Monday.
Tomorrow should be quite entertaining.
Several years ago, I had a witness similar to her. I got him tired on day one (it wasn’t intentional, just the way the trial broke) and got him to break the following day. I used a scene from the Caine Mutiny, where Queeg was being questioned, and blew up. Similar to Nicholson in A Few Good Men. My witness exploded when I, very patiently, asked the same question multiple times with slight variations. I never got a direct answer, and I would always say, “Mr _______, maybe you didn’t understand my question, let me rephrase it.” It wasn’t long before the witness got frustrated, the jury picked up on the fact that my question wasn’t being answered, and the Judge was getting antsy. It wasn’t long before the witness exploded at my client, then me, then the Judge. The case was dismissed at the next break.
