 The whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you god.

 And if you say No. What happens? Do they proceed? Throw you out? What happens?

 The lawyer doesn't always tell the truth, seems unfair.

I'd assume they'd get you for obstructing justice or perjury.

You'd probably be held in contempt of court and fined.

Also, a refusal to swear an oath and hence failure to testify in many cases could mean that you fail to meet your burden of production and therefore you lose your case automatically.

I picture it going a lot like this:



Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

No...


Excuse me, what?

I said no...

What are you a flipping moron? You want me to throw your stupid butt in jail?


Awkward silence

"I meant yes"
