Lawyers should never ask a witness a question if they aren't
prepared for the answer!
In a trial, a Southern small town prosecuting
attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman, to the stand. He approached her and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?"
She responded, "Why, yes I do know you, Mr. Wiiliams. I've known you since you were a young boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you will never amount to anything more than a two bit paper pusher! Yes, I know you."
The lawyer was stunned! Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked: "Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?" She again replied, "Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheats on his wife with three different women, One of them is your wife! Yes, I know
him." The defense attorney almost died..... The judge asked both
counselors to approach the bench, and in a very quiet voice said, "If either of you two bastards asks her if she knows me, I'll throw your sorry behinds in jail for contempt!"
