Doctor, how many autopsies have you peformed on dead people?
. All my autopsies have been performed on dead people.

Were you aquainted with the deceased?
. Yes, sir.
Before or after he died?

Officer, what led you to believe the defendant was under the influence?
. Because he was argumentary and he couldn't pronunciate his words.

What happened then?
. He told me, he says, "I have to kill you because you can identify me."
Did he kill you?
. No.

Mrs. Jones, is your appearance this morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent to your attorney?

What was he doing with the dog's ears?
. Picking them up in the air.
Where was the dog at this time?
. Attached to the ears.

When he went, had you gone and had she, if she wanted to and were able, for the time being excluding all the restraints on her not to go, gone also, would he have brought you, meaning you and she, with him to the station?
. Objection. That question should be taken out and shot.

Was she your daughter on February 13, 1979?

Now, you have investigated other murders, have you not, where there was a victim?...and what did he do then?

So when he woke up the next morning he was dead?

Could you see him from where you were standing?
. I could see his head.
And where was his head?
. Just above his shoulders.

What can you tell us about the truthfulness and veracity of this defendant?
. Oh, she will tell the truth. She said she'd kill that sonofabitch - and she did!

Do you drink when you're on duty?
. I don't drink when I'm on duty, unless I come on duty drunk.

...any suggestions as to what prevented this from being a murder trial instead of an attempted murder trial?
. The victim lived.

The truth of the matter is that you were not an unbiased, objective witness, isn't it. You too were shot in the fracas?
. No, sir. I was shot midway between the fracas and the naval.

What is the meaning of sperm being present?
. It indicates intercourse.
Male sperm?
. That is the only kind I know.

(Showing man picture.) That's you?

Was that the same nose you broke as a child?
