The actual words of the OATH, "Do you solemnly swear . . . I do," are not transcribed, but are SUBSUMED within this centered line. When a witness prefers to affirm rather than swear, change SWORN to AFFIRMED. Testimony may be interrupted, as when taking another witness out of order. In that case, the witness may be RESUMED. A witness may also be RECALLED for further testimony later in the trial, as in a rebuttal presentation. |
