Why aren witnesses given truth serum prior to taking the stand in important trials?
There wouldn’t be as much need for lawyers. Sodium thiopental,better known as Sodium Pentothal (truth serum), thiopental, thiopentone sodium, or trapanal, is a rapid-onset short-acting barbiturate general anaesthetic. It is an intravenous ultra-short-acting barbiturate. Sodium thiopental is a depressant and is sometimes used during interrogations to weaken one’s resolve.
