The following questions from attorneys were taken from official court records.

A. He said, "I have to kill you because you can identify me."
Q. Did he kill you?

Was it you or your brother that was killed in the war?

The youngest son, the 20-year-old, how old is he?

Were you alone or by yourself?

A. Yes.
Q. And these stairs, did they go up also?

Q. Have you lived in this town all your life?

An 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."
