You can’t lie to the court, but I haven’t had any jury pool requests since I told them I had kidney stones years ago..
“You can’t lie to the court”
Back in the 80s I lost 2 friends because I lived up to that.....one suing the other for a car crash that left the passenger severely injured.
We were all together that day at the beach and then later at a wing bar drinking before the accident.
I had to share intimate details about that day under oath and the driver never forgave me.
I was NOT going to lie under oath just to help him out.
Didn’t matter anyway, anything I stated that was helpful to the defense was stricken from the record anyway.
I tried to explain that fact to him but he didn’t want to hear it.
In the end though, I sleep well at night knowing I told the WHOLE truth.
Should have mentioned, it was a deposition setting.
