I can say losing it when fired upon with questions can work in your favor. I was in that spot but by surprise. I lost it. Had an old lady in the bathroom trying to get me to take valium of hers. I just looked at the judge and said I have to go, get out... I ran as he called a break. I came back and he said it was over. No more questions. He was so pissed, and not at me. I won a case I did not sue for. I was being sued. His stupid attorney brought up an old rape case he did not get prosecuted for. Charges, but I flipped and went in hysterical laughs in front of grand jury (btw bad move). Needless to say it never went to criminal court. Still lost as to why I reacted how I did. But the second time around I was shocked he had the nerve to bring it up and lost it.

No advice, just go in being who you are, not doped up to cover. Covering backfires. It hurts but worth it. Bec went through a similar situation so drop her a line if she does not see this.
