So Straightforward

Have you ever heard the most straightforward responses from a police officer during a cross-examination?

Does it appear that she has an injury?

No.

Why not?

Because I don't see any injury. 

Do you have a recollection...?

No.

Why not?

It's been five years.

Do you recognize an injury?

No. I see pink cheeks and pink eyes consistent with crying. 

What did you determine this call was after this investigation?

A dispute. A verbal dispute. It's not a crime. It's not against the law to argue. I argue with my wife all the time.   

PS: The defense lawyer finally reminded this police officer about his duties and responsibilities. She wasn't amused.
