A legal question         


Author: Uncle Weasel
Date: May 9, 2008 17:03

For Lee Dillion, or anyone else with legal cluefulness.

Is there a principle in trial law concerning diminished credibility whenever
a witness makes statements concerning themselves?

I take comfort in the principle that anyone who is offended by speech
spoken without intent to offend deserves to be offended.

Daryl Kinsman:
Heh, that should be the golden rule of political incorrectness.

Hi Unc.

Hope you are well. You could ask on misc.legal.moderated if you don't get
a good answer here. There are some very helpful legal minds there.

Well enough. It's May! What could be sweeter -- at least until the black
flies bite . . .

I'll keep that in mind. Where's Lee gone, anyway? Nerve of him, pretending he
has other things to do!

Sorry. But my clients didn't need to go to court. We were too smart to
get tangled up with the cost of justice.
