These are from a book called "Disorder in the courts" and are things
actually said in court, word for word, taken down and published by court
reporters that had the torment of staying calm while the exchanges took
place:
ATTORNEY: What was the first thing your husband said to you that morning?
WITNESS: He said, 'where am I, cathy?'
ATTORNEY: And why did that upset you?
WITNESS: My name is Susan!
ATTORNEY: What gear were you in at the moment of the impact?
WITNESS: Gucci sweats and reeboks

WITNESS: No, I just lie there
ATTORNEY: What is your date of birth?
WITNESS: July 18th
ATTORNEY: What year?

WITNESS: 38 or 35, I can't remember which
ATTORNEY: How long has he lived with you?
WITNESS: 45 years
ATTORNEY: This myasthenia gravis, does it affect your memory at all?
WITNESS: Yes
ATTORNEY: And in what ways does it affect your memory?
WITNESS: I forget
ATTORNEY: You forget? Can you give us an example of something you forgot?
ATTORNEY: Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know about it until the next morning?
WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam?
ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the 20 year old, how old is he

ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
WITNESS: No
ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure?
WITNESS: No
ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing?
WITNESS: No
ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?

ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, doctor?

ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?
