I am a mythomaniac with short-term memory issues so that would help me if they did that

Reminding someone about the oath does improve the chance they'll tell the truth. In fact, research has found that even if you make an atheist swear on the bible, it still improves the chance of them telling the truth.

Sorry m8, only works if it's a book that's actually been written by God.

What? A judge doesnt have to stop a defendant if he's about to incriminate himself. He's reminded beforehand that he doesnt have to testify/answer Anything he says beyond that point is pretty much fair game.

Everything that happens in a court room scene has reached meme status. If you've ever seen real trial proceedings, they are incredibly boring. Lawyers quietly talk to lawyers, talk quietly to the judge, the judge talks a LOT despite what is depicted in movies, and it's just boring crap like reading out of the law book. And 99% of the time the guy on trial doesn't give testimony because the 5th amendment is a thing.

I'd rather go to the dentist than court.

Oh I agree. Law & Order is GOAT procedural drama. I have no illusion about the authenticity though.

>>64621721
It's worse when you're a juror, because they actually make you leave when they need to talk about the juicy shit.

>lawyer asks victim to drop the case
>it's a criminal case

I was jury duty once and one lawyer had an annoying stutter and the cop witness they brought out was nervous as fuck when giving evidence. I was gonna say not guilty just because the accused looked like jack bauer and the whole case was just a waste of time and money drug posession case. But then the case was rescheduled because jack bauer was a friend of a friend of a friend of a juror.
