Here's another trial transcript: The following portion of a trial transcript was confirmed with one of the counsel involved (Ms. Olschner) and subsequently posted on Lexis Counsel Connect. The transcript is from Birmingham, Alabama, although the use of a deposition of a party opponent "for any purpose" is also in the Federal Rules. We have no word on what had happened immediately prior to this exchange. ------ The Court: Next witness. Ms. Olschner: Your Honor, at this time I would like to swat Mr. Buck in the head with his client's deposition. The Court: You mean read it? Ms. Olschner: No, sir. I mean to swat him in the head with it. Pursuant to Rule 32, I may use the deposition "for any purpose" and that is the purpose for which I want to use it. The Court: Well, it does say that. (Pause) The Court: There being no objection, you may proceed. Ms. Olschner: Thank you, Judge Hanes. (Whereupon Ms. Olschner swatted Mr. Buck in the head with a deposition.) Mr. Buck: But Judge... The Court: Next witness. Mr. Buck: We object. The Court: Sustained. Next witness. [End of trial transcript excerpt.]
