Nobody has to swear on the bible in court. You can simply affirm that you will tell the truth.

No courtroom has required a witness to swear on a Bible in over 35 years. Most states do not even include the words "so help me God" anymore. So the question is pointless.

Well I doubt the problem is going to come up since nearly all murderers are Christians.

Interesting. LoL
That would certainly make them want to lie wouldn't it?
Abide by the law, don't worship the devil, and you will never have to find out.

Only if they choose to testify on their own behalf. Most don't.
