That would be a whole different sort of court proceeding.
lol at Sooz's story. I've never had anything like that happen. But I was representing the plaintiff in a breach case once and the defendant was a Russian guy with a pretty heavy accent. I just crucified the guy on the stand because he kept lying. I mean real whoppers. So every time I caught him in a lie, I had all the documents to prove he was lying right there in my briefcase, and I would grab the right one and stick it under his nose. I just demolished the guy.
When his attorney stood up, he said, "Your Honor, as you know my client is Russian and you'll note his accent. I'm worried that your honor will have difficulty understanding him, so I am more than happy to have him repeat any answers you need as we go along..."
The judge just looked daggers at him and said, "Counsel, I have no problem with his accent. The problem I have is with his honesty."
My client leaned over and said, "That's good, right?"
Um...yeah. That's GOOD. He is the defendant and their primary witness and the judge just called him a liar. That's like grand slam home run good.
