Have You Ceased beating Your Wife?
A story is told of a brow-beating counsel, who habitually endeavoured to terrorize his opponent’s witnesses. One witness rather tended to preface his replies with lengthy explanations.
“ I wan’t ‘yes’or ‘no’.” Thundered counsel. “There is no need for uou to argue the point”
“But there are some questions which cannot be answered by ‘yes’ or ‘no’, mildly responded the witness.
“ There are not!” unwisely snapped the lawyer.
“Oh,” said the witness.” “answer this then: Have you ceased bearhing uour wife?”
您停止打妻子了嗎？
一個(gè)故事講述一位逼人做事的辯護(hù)師，他習(xí)慣于竭力去恐嚇?biāo)姆磳?duì)者的證人。
一位證人要用很長(zhǎng)的解釋來(lái)引出他的回答。
“我想要‘是’或‘不是’辯護(hù)師大聲說(shuō)道，“對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)你無(wú)須爭(zhēng)論細(xì)節(jié)。”
“可是有一些問(wèn)題是不能用‘是’或‘不是’來(lái)回答的，證人和善地回答。
“沒(méi)有那種問(wèn)題！“律師很不理智地答道。
“噢”證人說(shuō)，“那么回答這個(gè)問(wèn)題：您已經(jīng)停止毆打您的妻子了嗎？”
