If a murdered victim came back as a ghost, could you subpoena them to testify against their murderer?

Answer 1

Ghosts are not allowed to testify in court. They are legally registered dead.

dead people don't talk. :)

A dead man tells no lies. Not because he is truthful, it coz he can't talk. He has to send email or go through Sylvia Brown, which now is considered hearsay. inadmissible.

Come on man, everyone knows this.

Answer 2

No. The ghost has got to haunt the murderer into confessing all by his ectoplastic self.

Ghosts don't answer subpoenas, either. The dead only submit evidence in court through autopsy and crime scene forensic tests.

Answer 3

Sure, but the problem may lie with being able to keep constant contact with the victim enough to serve them a subpoena..
Also, how do you enforce a ghost to show up at court?

Answer 4

Of course you can but under the following circumstances:

1. The holy ghost has to be the judge
2. The jury has to have Michael Jackson, OJ Simpson and Mike Tyson
3. The prosecuting lawyer will be Ronald McDonald
4. The defense attorney will be George Bush

Answer 5

Yes, but Santa Claus needs to deliver the subpoena.

Answer 6

no. i surely don't think so.
come on now, how can u subpoena a ghost?
hello !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no they can't testify if they've been murdered & are now deceased.
this isn't x-files or the twilight zone.
reality, no such thing.
u need jesus. i think u have too much time on your hands.

Answer 7

Dead people don't become ghosts. Demons pose as dead people who act alive in order to mislead people into believing that death was not given as the conseqence of sin in the garden.

Answer 8

ah. you have found something that the framers of our constitution falied to see. Can a ghost be forced to testify and can he or she take the 5th if need be? good one.

Answer 9

Not in real life.

Answer 10
