    And that’s why perjury exists as a crime. Or the right to refuse to testify against family members (depends on your location). Or the right to shut up lest your testimony incriminate yourself.

    Most people testifying in court have not committed crimes. They will be suitably impressed with the seriousness of it all so they won’t lie.

    95 percent of court proceedings are fucking boring. Even in most big cases. That’s why writers fluff it to to keep viewers viewing and readers turning pages. It’s not like that.
