Testifies |
AP reports: Leading a parade of celebrity
witnesses who claimed they were stiffed by a speakers bureau, Andy Rooney
began his testimony Monday by questioning the wording of the oath to tell
the truth. The CBS newsman later got a lecture from the judge for trying
to interrogate a lawyer while on the witness stand.
"No, no, no, Mr. Rooney," said federal
Judge Colleen McMahon, her head in her hands. "The first rule is the witness
never gets to ask any questions ... even if he's a journalist."
Rooney was the first witness in the fraud
trial of Alan Walker, 67, who ran the Program Corp. of America, a firm
that matched speakers with events. [see full story for more]-
