It's quite difficult to sit up straight or not fidget when there's a bunch of emotions that goes with being an active listener around strangers and interrogation

1. The truth is a lion, you don't have to defend it. You set it loose, and it defends itself.

Sorry but this is kinda not really necessarily accurate, I’ve testified before and am testifying next month and I have a severe anxiety disorder, ptsd and epilepsy, I believe the truth will show through the nervousness if you are in fact telling the truth! Displaying confidence too much can exude cockyness also. Be humble and recognize the seriousness of the situation and answer clearly and truthfully, the rest will sort out during closing arguments. That’s what we pay these guy the big bucks for 🤔

Thank you for this. This has been very helpful.

Thank you so much even though these are very simple and might need some common sense it as good to hear it from a person who knows their stuff I feel so much more comfortable with my first court case, luckily I know all the evidence is in my favour can't thank you enough

this guy relaxes me

Thanks for the presentation. It's really helpful...

I need to keep me self at a reminder when I get ready for my child victims act civil case in New york may 4 2023 thank you for posting this on you tube

Oh I love the tip of the toes! Thank you

But what if you have an intense desire to run across the courtroom and slap the taste out of the defendants mouth lol just kidding, ty for sharing lol

Ahahaha, I love this "Wiggle your toes"

This could be very helpful for me even though no one called me to testify in court at the moment.

None of this is true if the witness has anxiety.

Excellent and we'll put...

So, what are you supposed to do with your hands?

Excellent video,I learned a lot,thankyou for sharing,do you have any suggestions on how to hold your hand,what to do,and what to avoid?

Useful information

I needed this for my civil lawsuit my lawyers don't tell me about this. Even in my two 7 hour deposition my back did infact start to hurt me at times.

thankyou this helped alot

Thank you very much! Do you happen to know anything about dressing specific ways? I've heard that wearing light colors will make you appear more innocent?

Thank you!

Good

You didn't mention eating popcorn. I guess that would be a no no......?

im here

So where should i put my hands instead...

I have a question. if i am a eyewitness in a murder trial and i testified in a monotone voice and a blank face. how would the judge perceive it?

A couple shots of Jack, couldn’t hurt?

Now testify and it's right outside your door!

Can you go to jail if you decide not to testify in court for someone? ?

All this 'advice' is impossible for some of us, including me often. I've got a brain injury & neck/throat & visual damage & really bad neck & back/lumbar pain so it would really hurt me to have to even SIT in court - I can't ever sit without pain so have to stand up & even that hurts, awful. Plus I often have trouble with eye-contact now: the nerves/muscles that I use to move my eyes (& focus) & hold my eyelids open have been damaged, plus I often look NOT at people's faces because it feels more tiring sometimes, especially when they're talking (lost of minute movements for me to try to process) plus for me understanding & listening to others talk is even more exhausting than when I talk - both are very tiring. I would be VERY nervous going to court because I have never been, plus I'd be afraid to not sleep properly before: this happens even with doctors' & gardener here/appointments now = anything out of my routine & where others are involved, even shopping is very stressful) and when I haven't slept properly I do everything worse, & far more so than for 'normal' people - plus I cry lots more because of brain-overload and extreme fatigue and extra-sensitive to noises, smells and everything. I have some memory problems, especially with my short-term memory and I often can't know which even happened before which - I can get the sequence wrong. Some of my memories are crystal clear and 'engraved' into my brain (especially very traumatic ones), but others can be very vague or almost non-existent, and some have been wiped away by my brain injury, so if I make mistakes with things which are not actually vital please allow me a little slack - it is not my choice and I really wish my brain & memory worked how they used to, but they don't. People are shocked at how many vivid memories I have from when I was small/young - but I think that's because they were in my brain for so much longer than more recent ones so had been stregthened by time - oddly NOT always by revisiting them as I read. Fascinating stuff but I it's hard enough for me to understand (and continually shocks me at how much I've lost but also what remains, odd) so I know it must be very confusing for others to comprehend and if they are ignorant of all this they may well judge me (& others like me) wrongly which would be very unjust. It's shocking that people (including juries apparently) judge us by how we LOOK & body/eye/hand movements & posture, they might think I wasn't concentrating - I might not be: I can't all the time (& I can phase out but nobody would know) with people talking & too much info for me to try to take in & process PLUS think of the reply I want to say = (PLUS mega stress if in court) I mess up loads even in conversations, including on the phone often - even when I close my eyes to remove some pain/distractions. For people like me (& there are LOADS of us) why must we BE there? Why can't we talk on phone, in person elsewhere, in writing (although ALL are hard for me) and because I sometimes say "yes" when I mean "no" (& vice versa) it's very tricky sometimes for me to even answer a (supposedly) simple question properly; I (& people like me) need lots of different times & with different people to give our testimonies - and chances to correct the errors I made (& others make recording/writing what I said). Please believe what I tell you because I fear that so very many of us will be labelled as 'unreliable' witnesses and our truths wrongly assumed to be lies - I have already been subjected to DOCTORS denying the truth of the injuries they gave me (serious medical errors) and although I've never been to court about this (I tried to but failed) many others may have to become involved in legal cases (not our first choice!) both as victims and defendants and we MUST be able to access justice equally with everyone else - but we all know that wealthy & powerful people can enforce their legal rights etc. far more easily than most of us (which is wrong & very unfair) and those of us living with disabilities of all kinds (whether visible or not) are sick and tired of being excluded & penalised BECAUSE of our injuries/disabilities, so please ensure ALL of us can give our best true testimonies and allow us adaptations which we need in order to help judicial processes. So much more I could write but i'm hurting & exhausted so must stop. Thank you.

Hi Mr lawer when peoples put fraud apps on my phone number and Google put fraud in my account

So we need acting lessons now to get people to believe us in court? Most judges and juries will detect what is nervous behaviour and base any decisions on that.

Maybe atudide

Nothing correct here.
