>.< I might be going to court as a witness.

Sign in to disble this ad
This is weird. A few days ago I was given a call from the police and it's now looking likely I'm going to be called as a prosecution witness.

Has anyone here gone to court as witness? What should I expect will happen?

I think it'll be a lot easier than going to court as a defendant.

There have been times in my life when that was a possibility.

If you can somehow work the Shergold vomitting incident into your interview, they will likely drop you.

Yeah, don't deny it either. They can dust for vomit you know.

Whatever you do, don't throw acid in the face of the District Attorney. If comic books have taught me anything, it's that this is an extremely bad idea.

/Batman reference.

On a slightly more serious note, in the event of any portions of the trial becoming televised, your face will probably be obscured by a blue dot, and your voice will be over-dubbed by Steve Allen. Aye carumba!!!

/retardedly obscure Simpsons reference.

Vomiting on the DA is also not a good idea.

No, I'm serious. Trials are for the most part very boring, unlike on TV. I would NOT want to give up my TB time just to do my civic duty. So when it looks like you might have to actually do this, remember what I said. You can thank me later.

I once had to point out pictures at the police HQ, quite hilarious to see that the research unit of the cops had to work in the old gym hall of the building

OK- so here's what you do: Wait for a lull/pause in the converastion, then giggle to yourself just a bit, looking off in the distance as if you just recalled something quite funny. When they ask you 'What's so funny..?' Well, there you go.
