In some courts, jurors may ask questions of witnesses. What should a lawyer do if the other side's expert uses the question as an opportunity to hold forth on a range of topics (some outside his or her expertise)? If the lawyer objects, will the jurors get mad or think they're being deprived information they want to hear?
