I have another legal question

Actually more of a courtroom question.

 

TV and movies, quite frequently, the lawyer will ask a question and the witness will hesitate and the lawyer will say, "let me remind you that you are under oath".

 

Suppose anybody ever did that in a courtroom for real?

 

Just kind of sounds like that thing Demi Moore did, in A Few Good Men.

 

She objected, and the judge overruled her, and she repeated her objection saying that she most strenuously objected.

 

Like that was going to make the judge change his mind. That it was not just a ordinary everyday objection, but it was a STRENUOUS objection.

I never did it and I don't remember anybody else doing it in court. In depostions I may have heard it a  few times. I never did there either-- why remind them?

 

As for'strenuous' objections, yeah, you do hear that a lot. But not nearly as much as, "I'll be brief, your honor"....
