'How many children do you have?'
Authored by: red floyd on Thursday, October 04 2012 @ 08:00 PM EDT
Again, irrelevant.

The *IMPORTANT* point of lying during VD is his agreement to follow the law *AS
PROVIDED BY THE COURT* and not his own interpretation.

No amount of semantic juggling can reconcile his agreement during VD with his
own admitted behavior during deliberations.

'How many children do you have?'
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, October 06 2012 @ 07:34 AM EDT
I'm sorry, but even the question "have you ever had
children?" is straw man - because the social context of that
kind of question is completely incomparable. A question
about your children in day to day life implies an particular
kind of answer: i.e. when someone asks you if you have any
children they usually want to know how many.

Being questioned in a court of law by a Judge is NOT day to
day. There is no social experience a person can draw on to
interpret the intent of the question, hence the only fair
interpretation is the literal one.
