"When was the last time you blacked out after killing someone but were able to drive away, toss your gun and clean yourself up?" "What's the best temperature setting when laundering your camera?" "When you stab someone multiple times, are you going for a pattern, or was your hand just getting tired?" Have at it...
Florida doesn't let jurors ask questions in criminal trials. Only Arizona, Indiana and Colorado, so it won't be as much fun.
Could you imagine the look on the judge and attorneys' faces if you submitted that question during the Arias trial? That'll get you out of jury duty, really fast.
I had never heard of such a thing, it would be hilarious if they could just ask the questions, but they are reviewed by counsel and the judge
Well, they have to be, for obvious reasons (as you'd know). In the study I read, some of the more common problems were asking questions of the wrong expert witness or asking questions of a non-expert that requires expert knowledge. I'll admit that there was one negative comment by an attorney after the NJ pilot program that I thought was interesting: it screws with the attorney's strategy because sometimes you don't want to ask "that" question of "that" witness because it might open the door to something else.
