This is a blow-up of the photograph that I took of my car. Yes, it does. Exhibit 8 is received. You got the exhibit into evidence and now you can use it. No more fussing about is needed.
Some judges take offense if a lawyer approaches a witness without asking for permission.
Some find it annoying for a lawyer to continually bother them with asking. Despite what you ve seen on T.V., few judges will allow a lawyer to hover over a witness during examination. But the level of formality varies in every court. If you haven t tried a case before the judge, ask in advance what the rules are from the bailiff and the court clerk. They ll be happy to fill you in.
