CJ Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Allegedly, what people actually said in court word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters - who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place. Some of these are excellent, don't miss the last one. Q What is your date of birth? A July 15th Q What year? A Every year. Q What gear were you in at the moment of the impact? A Gucci sweats and Reeboks. Q This myasthenia gravis, does it affect your memory at all? A Yes. Q And in what way does it affect memory? A I forget. Q You forget. Can you give us an example of something you've forgotten? Q What was the first thing your husband said to you when he woke up that morning? A He said "Where am I Cathy?" Q And why did that upset you? A My name is Susan. Q Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know about it until the next morning? Q The youngest son, the twenty year old, how old is he? Q Were you present when your picture was taken? Q So the date of conception (of the baby) was August 8th? A Yes. QAnd what were you doing at that time? Q She had three children, right? A Yes Q How many were boys? A None Q Were there any girls? Q How was your first marraige terminated? A By death. Q And by whose death was it terminated? Q Can you describe the individual? A He was about medium height and had a beard. Q Was this a male or a female? Q Doctor, how many autopsies have you performed on dead people? A All my autopsies are performed on dead people. Q All your resposes must be oral, OK? What school did you go to? A Oral. Q Do you recall the time that you examined the body? A The autopsy started around 8.30pm. Q And Mr Dennington was dead at that time? A No, he was sitting on the table wondering why I was doing an autopsy. Q Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse? A No. Q Did you check for blood pressure? A No Q Did you check for breathing? A No. Q So then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy? A No. Q How can you be so sure, Doctor? A Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar. Q But could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless? A Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
