Whenever I or other witnesses entered the witness box in court to give evidence we were always instructed to hold the bible, raise our hand, face 'his/her honor, and say out aloud,
"The evidence I now give before the court will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me god."
Which I did on every occasion. So is swearing on the bible in court in USA not necessarily a thing or is not required when giving evidence?
Just asking in relation to this matter if it went before the court.
Kind regards,
Bally
