Charles M. Sevilla finds comic gems in court transcripts and now
brings readers a delightful, all-new collection. Starting with a
chapter on the defendants (one of whom, when asked his marital
status, replies after a long pause, Adequate ) and following with
sections on lawyers, experts, witnesses, evidence, and even one
called Malaprops (DA: The status of the boat has no relevance to
this case at all. This is a total fishing expedition). Stories from
the previous books have become viral Internet sensations, priming
readers for more legal disorder, such as:
Clerk: Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you are about to
given in the cause now pending before this court shall be the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you
God?
Witness: Yes, I swear. I ll say anything but the truth, nothing
but the truth."
Excerpts from Actual Cases Illustrations by Lee Lorenz "Splendid. . . . Pokes irreverent fun at everyone in the court system. . . . Lee Lorenz' fine illustrative cartoons add laughs to this madness." — Chicago Tribune
This assortment of unintentionally amusing courtroom exchanges ranges from the testimony of expert witnesses to jury selection to cross examination to creative defense, closing argument, and sentencing — a rollicking guide to America's legal system.
Lawyers and non-lawyers alike fell delightedly on the authors
previous collection of ridiculous excerpts from actual court cases.
Now Rodney R. Jones and Gerald F. Uelmen return with an all-new
assortment of unintentionally amusing incidents from legal cases of
all kinds, including folly in the Supreme Court itself."
