The following questions were actually asked by lawyers. They were compiled by a client of Johnson & Hatch, a Salt Lake City law firm.
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: How long have you been a French Canadian? Do you have any children or anything of that kind?
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 Aug. 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?
So you were gone until you returned?
Q: She had three children, right?
A: Yes.
Q: How many were boys?
A: None.
Q: How many were 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 that 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.
A Texas attorney, realizing he was on the verge of unleashing a stupid question, interrupted himself and said, "Your Honor, I'd like to strike the next question."

That "ninnogaywillycouf" loyar was thinking himself to be David Niven:
"He also shows her a pill he has invented, which "looks like an aspirin, it tastes like an aspirin, but it is not an aspirin" - it is in fact an atomic bomb, which goes off after 400 chain reactions. Feigning interest in him, she is released, steals the pill, and manages to slip it into his champagne, and he starts his hiccup-visualized countdown."

Anonymous Can't comment on this very sensitive issue as I have had befriended many lawyers. Somw of really extra ordinary and the fear of God precede their court gesture.
To be a good lawyer, one has to be absolutely impartial. The catch is there when a guilty person asked to be represented? A good lawyer will still has to take up the case to defend his client to the best of his ability with whatever knowledge he had have with regards to law. To plead to the judge for leniency after the charge is read.
Courts in Malaysia are a shameful lot. Many times the case is over for years but the judgement report is not written. No wonder the super guy was asked to write many judgement reports and was somehow indispensable during that era. But with a drinking culture and when half drunk, the tongue was loosen to the extent of boasting of one's achievement. Thus, correct correct correct seems to be new the mantra of the court in Malaysia. Sheeeesh!
~ahoo~

nick Sis,
Whatever "smart" question posed by so many "smart" lawyers all over the world NONE can ever reach the sheer intellect and "Stephen 'Hawking'ly genius" answer of our most famous or should I say dubious lawyer who proudly said "It looks like me, It sounds like me but I'm not sure it is me!". But then again, only BolehLand can produce such people. In that respect, we second to none. How shameful!
Nick.
