		In a typical month, I get about a dozen faxes or letters inviting me to be a “witness for the prosecution” in court cases involving child abuse and neglect in south Jersey.
		This last case was a little unusual because both the prosecuting and the defense attorneys subpoenaed me to testify.

	The Hindu : Metro Plus Bangalore / Theatre : Missing the pulse
		Witness for the Prosecution, Agatha Christie's well-known courtroom drama, was staged by Curtain Call (directed by Bhaskar, sets and lighting by M.S. Sathyu) last week at the Chowdiah Memorial Hall.
		The only scene where her acting could be faulted to some extent was the final scene, where Romaine's shock at being betrayed by the man she loves, which quickly gives way to blind rage, was portrayed a little too melodramatically and was therefore a tad unconvincing.
		Because the prosecuting counsel and the doctor who deposes at the trial are both played by women, the play had been set in 1980.

	Witness for the Prosecution:
		Simon appears to be hiding behind the phrase "seen at the shooting"--his third witness actually initially identified Jamal as being the driver of the pulled-over car, not as the shooter.
		Of two witnesses who identified Jamal, whose veracity Simon has implicitly vouched for, one was a prostitute whose story progressively changed after repeated arrests by police.
		Let me get this straight: It was his registered handgun; he was identified by three separate witnesses; he was shot by his own purported victim; he raved about his accomplishment in the hospital; he refuses to discuss his alleged innocence.

	Flak Magazine: Review of Amber Frey's Witness: For the Prosecution of Scott Peterson, 04.06.05
		Reading "Witness" is a lot like listening to someone reminisce at length about all the sweet, romantic things her ex-boyfriend used to do and all the good times they had, oblivious to the fact that he was a jerk who smacked her around and slept with her sister.
		Her prominent role in the coverage of the scandal made it seem like she and Scott had carried on for years, or at least months, but we learn that is not the case.
		The main reason that "Witness" strikes such a sour note throughout is the way Amber has inserted herself into the very center of the story.

		And about how he sat here, in his writing shed in in the garden and devoted himself to the moral power of the Austrian Catholic peasant Franz Jaegerstatter, who in 1943 refused to be recruited into the Nazi army, took a position against the Nazi establishment and paid for it with his life.
		Sobol is considered, justifiably, and as he himself would say, to be a playwright who takes a clear position on domestic issues in the public, political and social agenda.
		Jaegerstatter states that he is an eye witness, and that as far as he is concerned, anyone who is not like him and who knowingly distorts his testimony is a false witness.

	WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION (1957) - Tyrone Power Marlene Dietrich Good Billy Wilder Drama Mystery Classic 1957 -
		As soon as he comes home from hospital (the British say "from hospital" instead of "from the hospital"), he comes across the case of Leonard Vole (Tyrone Power) who is accused of murder, and he can't resist taking the case.
		The story moves along predicable courtroom murder defense lines for the first 30 minutes or so, but then the plot twists when a new "witness for the prosecution" appears.
		I especially liked the dry, British humor as Sir Wilfrid's battles his authoritative nurse Miss Plimsoll (played by Elsa Lancaster, Charles Laughton's real life wife) who nearly nags him to death as she tries to help him recover from his recent heart attack.
