The Most Hilarious Things That Court Reporters Have Ever Recorded To Be Said In Court #funnytweet

[@stevemorris6855]

From uk court. Judge: "I've listened to you for an hour and I'm none the wiser." Smith: "None the wiser, perhaps, my lord, but certainly better informed."

[@DuffyBlanco]

[@dizzysdoings]

Just goes to prove you don't have to be the smartest person to become a lawyer.

[@9Johnny8]

A lot of the obvious questions are because, for something to be established in court, the *witness* must say it. The lawyer can't just infer it from a previous statement or prior knowledge, he *must* get the witness to confirm it. Which leads to questions like whether the 20-year old was 20 years old.

[@AZ-dj1ni]

​@@9Johnny8like this? 3:16?

[@9Johnny8]

@@AZ-dj1ni Pretty much, though I _think_ that one is just unclear phrasing. If by "stairs" the lawyer means all the stairs in one stairwell, rather than a single flight of stairs, the question makes more sense. It's a bad idea to be that ambiguous in court, though.

Once at Circular Quay (Sydney, Australia) I was talking to a fellow driver in a long que of busses and he was the next bus to leave. ALL the buses were parked about 6 inches apart and a lady came up to his bus and asked what bus leaves next. His reply? "Third one down, lady". ANOTHER time the same driver was asked by a female passenger "How long is the next bus, please?" His response? "Same as this one, love. Thirty eight feet".

[@fighthypocrites7036]

Honestly I don't doubt that most of them are true. Between jury duty, observing and being a witness once, I've watched 6 trials. Some attorneys tend to ask a series of simple questions and/or ones with obvious answers. If it's a sympathetic witness, it's to put them at ease. If it's a hostile witness, it puts them in a pattern of answering quickly without thought. Then the attorney asks the "gotcha!" question and hopefully the witness incriminates or absolves the defendant (depending on whether it's the prosecutor or defense attorney doing the asking). Obviously some lawyers are better at this than others.

[@YeahNo]

It’s all stolen from a book.

He could also mean, if they go up to the higher level from the first floor.

[@deineroehre]

@@pbtube58 Depends on the wording. The stair from basement to ground floor can't obviously be the same as the stair from the ground floor to the first floor. Except there would be a continous stair from the basement to the first floor with some sort of exit or "platform" on the ground floor. But this is not really usual since a lot of space is wasted and so the stair from basement to ground floor ist mostly directly under the stair from the ground floor to the first floor. So yes, the stairs might go up also, but not the same stairs. Since in court every single detail of the wording of a sentence can have huge impact on the outcome, it is wise to put in a perfect wording...

[@dietisnotdifficult3305]

The stairs do not move. Only the usage changes, whether you are going from the bottom to the top or the top to the bottom.

[@Voron_Aggrav]

​@@deineroehreyeah, the question in common context sounds weird, but in a legal setting it's perfectly fine, it's basically ascertaining if someone would be able to use that staircase from the basement to the first floor

​@@deineroehreNot as a continuous stair, no, but stairs very often zigzag back and forth or spiral as they climb a multi-floor building. Imagine you're on the 2nd floor of a 5 floor building. Do the stairs go down to the 1st floor? Yup. Do they go up to the 3rd? Also yes. When I talk about standing next to the stairs, is it clear whether I'm thinking of going up or down? Not really, I call the entire stack "the stairs".

🤣 Many of these are just nonsensical filler questions asked while lawyers try to come up with different strategy, a more effective way of getting the response desired from the person testifying, or a more poignant way of getting their point across to juries. We all do it (banter or small talk) to some extent, but it's just not recorded.

Where do people find these 'lawyers'?🤣🤣

Someone once told me that there are no dumb questions. I now have proof to the contrary.

It's like someone trying to tell a joke that their head was awesome but once it rolled out the lips you realized how stupid it sounded out loud only this is not a bunch of buddies drinking sat the BAR where what you say can be laughed off with drinks. Only we're not trying to tell jokes at this bar and what happens at this bar stays at this bar, in writing too
