Alla:

And if I had been your lawyer, I would have advised you to NOT get 
into argument with the lawyer who cross-examines you. I do not 
understand the question is the only answer you should give if you do 
not understand the question on the stand in my opinion. Then either 
judge will ask the lawyer to rephrase or your lawyer will object to 
form.

Alla:

The obvious being that Lexicon copied JKR's work in my opinion. This 
example I quoted in responce to Lee's argument that defense denied 
copying.

This part I interpret as exactly the opposite. Which is of course 
open to interpretation.
