Welcome to CSR Nation
So I'm looking for some clarification on descriptive blurbs. I have a witness who is demonstrating something that happened to him. Where would the blurb go in the testimony? This isn't the actual testimony, just a sample.
A: He threw the lamp at me like that, and I looked back at him to see where he came from.
So would it be:
A: He threw the lamp at me like that (indicating), and I looked back at him to see where he came from.
Or where would it go? In the actual testimony he goes on and on. I've seen blurbs go on lines all by themselves so I wasn't too sure. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!

I put it in once "(indicating)" then let the answer go on and on.
Thank you, ladies!
I would put it as you have it, like that (indicating).
If they went on and on in the sentence describing he threw it like this and that and then like this (indicating), then I'd put it after the series.
I go back and forth on this. Sometimes I put (indicating or demonstrating) and other times I don't. I don't have any reason why. The attorney should have clarified for the record, which normally happens when they are pointing. You do not have to put anything since we are reporting words only.
