Fun with the US Legal Process
Here are some questions taken from actual official US court records:

Q. Was that the same nose you broke as a child?

Q. Now, doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, in
most cases he just passes quietly away and doesn't know anything about
it until the next morning?

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?

Q. Was it you or your brother that was killed in the war?

Q. The youngest son, the 20-year-old, how old is he?

Q. Were you alone or by yourself?

Q. Do you have any children or anything of that kind?

Q. How long have you been a French Canadian?

Q. I show you Exhibit 3 and ask you if you recognize that picture.
A. That's me.
Q. Were you present when that picture was taken?

Q. Were you present in court this morning when you were sworn in?

Q. Now, Mrs. Johnson, how was your first marriage terminated?
A. By death.
Q. And by whose death was it terminated?

Q. Do you know how far pregnant you are now?
A. I'll be three months on November 8.
Q. Apparently, then, the date of conception was August 8?
A. Yes.
Q. What were you doing at that time?

Q. Mrs. Jones, do you believe you are emotionally stable?
A. I used to be.
Q. How many times have you committed suicide?

Q. So you were gone until you returned?

Q. She had three children, right?
A. Yes.
Q. How many were boys?
A. None.
Q. Were there girls?

Q. You don't know what it was, and you didn't know what it looked like,
but can you describe it?

Q. You say the stairs went down to the basement?
A. Yes.
Q. And these stairs, did they go up also?

Q. Have you lived in this town all your life?
A. Not yet.

Q. Do you recall approximately the time that you examined the body of
Mr. Edington at the Rose Chapel?
A. It was in the evening. The autopsy started about 8:30 pm.
Q. And Mr. Edington was dead at the time, is that correct?
