Why Do Judges Ask The Question "Did You Die?" To Someone Who Is Alive? by 7victor(m): 4:25pm On Sep 30, 2021 |
In the court, someone says something like " He shot me three times, and then left me, thinking I am dead." The judge or the prosecutor would(more likely than not) ask the man " Are you dead?" Or " Did you die?" Is these questions necessary? What if the man answered " Yes i died" Or " Yes i am dead" Will the judge accept that the man who is standing before him has died or is dead? If not, why then do judges, lawyers and prosecutors ask such questions? During Oputa panel trials, the judge asked Oladipo Diya "If you see Abacha can you recognize him?" Diya answered that it was not possible to see someone who is dead and buried. He wondered whether the judge was trying to scare people present with the idea that Abacha could appear in their midst. But the judge insisted that he must answer the question. |
