 RN{at}> That's very interesting, Daryl.  Many thanks for the info.  I'll see
 RN{at}> about getting his book.

  One section is called "Disorder In The Court"...things from actual court
trials...such as:

Q: James stood back and shot Tommy Lee?
A: Yes.
Q: And then Tommy Lee pulled out his gun and shot James in the fracas?
A: (After a hesitation)  No sir, just above it.

Q: Were you shot in the fracas?
A: No, I was shot in the lumbar region.

Q: What is your name?
A: Ernestine Mc Dowell.
Q: What is your marital status?
A: Fair.

Q: Doctor, how many autopsies have you performed on dead people?
A: All my autopsies have been on dead people.

Q: What happened then?
A: He told me, he says, "I have to kill you because you can identify me."
Q: Did he kill you?
A: No.

Q: Mrs. Jones, is your appearance this morning pursuant to a deposition 
notice which I sent to your attorney?
A: No.  This is how I dress when I go to work.

Q: You say you're innocent, yet five people swore they saw you steal
the watch.
A: Your Honor, I can produce 500 people who didn't see me steal it.

Judge: Well, gentlemen of the jury, are you unanimous?
Foreman: Yes, your Honor, we're all alike -- temporarily insane.

Q: When he went, had you gone and had she, if she wanted to and were
able, for the time being excluding all the restraints on her not to go
also, would he have brought you, meaning you and she, with him to the
station?
A: Mr. BROOKS. Objection. That question should be taken out and shot.

Q: Just what did you do to prevent the accident?
A: I closed my eyes and screamed as loud as I could.

Q: What can you tell us about the truthfulness and veracity of this
defendant?
A: Oh, she'll tell you the truth. She said she was going to kill the
son of a gun -- and she did.

Q: How long did it take for you to get from where you live to Mr. Hicks
office in Mount Vernon?
A: From where I live, it's 14 miles to Mount Pleasant, 14 miles to
Pittsburgh, and 14 miles to Mount Vernon. I'm 14 miles from nowhere,
any which way I go. Plus another 14 to come home; that's 28 miles
throwed away.

Q: How much education do you have??
A: About 3 semesters at Lon Morris Junior College.
Q: Do you remember giving your deposition in my office several weeks ago?
A: Yes.
Q: Do you remember my asking about your education at that time?
A: I think so.
Q: You stated you had a master's degree in geophysics from the University
Of Texas, didn't you?
A: Yes, sir.
Q: When you gave that answer, were you mistaken, or was it a barefaced
lie?
A: It was a barefaced lie.

Q: Are you married??
A: Divorced.
Q: What did your husband do before you divorced him??
A: A lot of things I didn't know about.

Q: You were fired for allegedly using profanity on the job. What happened?
A: Well, my colleague was soldering some wires close to the ceiling. I was
holding the ladder. He was not paying attention to the solder that fell,
and I'd complained more than once. At a given point in time, he let fall
onto my shoulder a red hot piece of metal.
Q: At that moment, what did you say?
A: I said "Look, my dear colleague, at the hole you have made in my shirt".

Q: The claimant says that he worked a minimum of 2 hours overtime per day.
Is that true?
A: Deep down inside, it is true. But, he'll never get any witnesses to
prove it.

Q: Before the accident, you lived with your brother-in-law and sister
for about 6 months?
A: Yes.
Q: You got to know them quite well?
A: Yes.
Q: You saw him interact with your sister? And I believe they had 1 child?
A: Well, I did not see the actual interaction, but they did have 1 child.

Q: There is presently a producing oil well on the property in question?
A: Yes, we have a brand new oil well on that lease.
Q: When did you drill this "brand new" oil well?
A: 1985.
Q: But, this is 1988.
A: Yes, it's been brand new for 3 years.
