Perry Mason Moment at the Prenda Law hearing - Oh oh :-)
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, March 12 2013 @ 01:07 PM EDT
I think the Judge is more than aware of all this.

This isn't a jury trial, is it?


Also, getting the judge to ask more questions here is not looking like a bad
thing.

There was no need to put the witness under oath, although the judge could have
done that. You could paraphrase the conversation as:

Spectator: The witness is lying.

Judge: I could tell because his lips were moving.

Spectator: I've known that for 3 years.

So the information wasn't anything knew to the judge. Except maybe the 3 year
part, which wasn't the least bit relevant, but was funny.

IANAL, but it was a 'show cause' hearing, not a trial. Is it possible that the
judge could ask someone to take the stand and testify?

If the lawyers had to be sworn every time they speak in
court, things would pretty much grind to a halt.

Whoever is representing the lawyers of Prenda Law and/or Gibbs can object in
writing. (No speaking objections.)
