I had a similar experience long ago working with a fresh out of law school attorney who later went on to a short stint as the US Atorney General. We had watched a DOD lawyer who was clearly lying in the court room. I asked my friend on the walk back to his office: “how could he get by with lying to the judge”. My friend’s nonchalant reply was “He wasn’t under oath”. He went on to explain, rather cynically: That’s a double-edged sword. A judge experiences many liars. The defendant almost always lies, and many lawyers do, too. The witnesses are the most likely to be telling the truth, but some of them lie, too.
Because of this, judges get to be very good at picking out liars, and a lawyer loses all of his credibility if he is one.

I think it was Rush who used the term “linguini-spined”...
Best description of that judge.
Thank you.
