Hilarious! Bump!!!
BTW, I once had a client who supposedly had short term memory problems. Talk about a hard person to cross examine. The other lawyer would think that he had her trappped and ask her if she didn't just testify to such and such. Her reply was, "I don't remember what I just testified to." He'd come back and say well didn't such and such happen? She'd say. "It may have. I don't remember." On and on. Talk about a frustrated attorney. I felt sorry for him. parsy who loves this kind of stuff.

I loved the part where the judge would say, "shut up witness".

I've always liked this exchange:
Attorney: "Did my client bite off that man's ear."
Witness: "Yes, he did."
Attorney: "Did you see my client bite off that man's ear."
Witness: "No, I did not."
(The attorney having discredited the witness, should have stopped at this point. However, he pressed valiantly onward.)
Attorney: "If you didn't see my client bite off that man's ear, how can you testify that he did."
Witness: "I saw him spit it out."
Game, set, match.
