I am the Jasper boat dealer that supposedly did "very poorly" under cross. Hey guys,I'm just a boat dealer,I am not an attorney or a professional expert witness. This is only the second time in my 40 years as a dealer to be on the witness stand and I have to tell you I was out of my element. If I screwed up I appoligize to my fellow plaintiffs,but the defendant's lawyer did blindside me on a few issues. No problem,that's his job, and he was good at it. When the judge chastised him for badgering the witness,I tried to stay calm. When he got into go-cart tracks,and deer hunting with automatic weapons, and so othe weird stuff,the judge stopped him. I had no idea where he was going,I don't race go-carts and I don't hunt,so maybe my answers were a little off.I tried to tell the absolute truth in every answer but a lot of it was like the old lawyer story "Answer yes or no,do you still beat up your wife?" If the Professor was a good witness for their side,no problem,he seemed like a nice guy,but by his own admission he has made a lot of money in the past giving expert testimony,so he knew how to be a professional witness while I did not . Again,I am just a boat dealer who knows boats,I do not know courtroom procedure very well. But as Pier Pressure just said,it is now up to the judge. If any of you every make it to Smith Lake,give me a call.I will show you our lake . Regards,Robert Nelems,Nelems Marine.
