"Now, it appears to me that you consider lying under oath to be a larger offense than all the lies which people tell throughout their day. I wonder if my perception is accurate..." It probably appears that way because I am challenging the oath swearing ritual. Personally, I don't see any difference between calling on someone to swear to tell the truth and being expected to tell the truth as a matter of routine.

"The goal of looking after the interests of your client by intentionally trying to skewer the jurors by leading them to a version of the "truth" which is less than honest but is instead prejudiced through intention, ..." It insults the integrity of the court. It lays the foundation for injustice, and worse, the expectation of injustice by society...mistrust. "It has to do with having a regard for self interest of your client in acquitting himm of the charges or in minimizing the seriousness or gravity of the matter." And getting a guilty person acquitted is good because??? Minimizing the seriousness or gravity of a serious or grave matter is good because???
