prosecutor nor defence attorney swore to tell the truth!”
c. At a trial, an attorney was putting witnesses through an exacting cross-
examination, and was taking great delight into forcing witnesses to admit
that they did not remember every single detail of an automobile accident.
While the lawyer knew that no witness has a perfect memory, he had
improved a skill in exploiting minor inconsistencies and lapses of
memory in order to challenge the credibility of honest witnesses. After a
series of severe cross-examinations, he was looking forward to his
examination of yet another witness.
“Did you actually see the accident?” he asked.
The witness responded with a polite, “Yes, sir.”
“How far away were you when the accident happened?”
“I was Thirty-four feet, seven and three quarters inches away from the
point of collision.”
“Thirty-four feet, seven and three quarter inches?” the lawyer asked,
sarcastically, “Do you expect us to believe that your memory is so good,
and your sense of distance is so precise, that months after the accident
you can come into court and give that type of detail?”
The witness was calm. “Sir, I had a hunch that some obnoxious, know-it-
all lawyer would ask me the distance, and would try to make it seem like
I was lying if I could not give an exact answer. So I got a tape measure,
and measured out the exact distance.”
d. At the height of a political corruption trial, the prosecuting attorney
attacked a witness.
“Isn't it true,” he bellowed, “that you accepted five thousand dollars to
compromise this case?”
The witness stared out the window, as though he hadn't heard the
question.
The prosecutor again blared, “Isn't it true that you accepted five thousand
dollars to compromise this case?”
 The witness still did not respond. Finally, the judge leaned over and said,
“Sir, please answer the question.”
“Oh," the startled witness said, "I thought he was talking to you."

decided to stretch the story.

you start persuading him to publish a denial.

converted to your religion.”

Jesus born?”

town called Bethlehem.”
”Very good,” replied the hotel clerk. “Tell me more.”
Mrs. Rosenberg replied, “He was born in a manger.”
