Broke my cherry

#1 Post by Bob78164 » Tue Nov 29, 2016 9:46 pm

For the first time in my 23 years of practice, I took a witness in front of the jury. It was the other side's damages expert. My clients and colleagues told me it went well. I was too focused on the witness and my notes to catch the jury's reaction for myself.

Trial's been going since November 1 and we've been presenting evidence since November 7. I was slated to take a couple of other witnesses on cross but the other side kept deciding not to call my witnesses. We should get the case to the jury on Thursday. --Bob

Didn't the judge consider that sort of behavior a violation of the dignity of the court or something?




Or does that phrase mean something different than what your subject line implies? :twisted:

[I just noticed that I was looking at "Page 4" of the new posts on the Bored, and that your post was from last month. But, hey, if nobody else has taken the effort to respond to it...]

We all saw the post. It is about as misogynistic as it gets. Vulgar and rude, too.
