If the opposite party doesn’t object then this bad question gets asked and answered which is Injustice, because it’s bias etc even though everyone in the room may have heard the bad question.
but the lawyer just didn’t object and the judge should step in and say to ask the question differently but instead they just allow this injustice question I don’t understand why.
Update: ok thank you I realized that people say it’s not the judge’s job now this doesn’t solve the problem and if they ask bad questions they need to be told these are bad questions instead of just consistently making the other person object because these bad questions will get through eventually unless you do a million objections I just feel like this is quite suboptimized it should be everyone in the room saying objection if they hear about question not just the other team if I sew a criminal and the police officer I wouldn’t just leave it up to the police officer to capture the criminal I’d point to the criminal and say this is a criminal

There’s a pretty big difference between what you see on TV and what actually happens in a courtroom. Courtroom dramas are all about the lawyers, presenting their arguments to the juries and getting witnesses who seem to have *zero* control over their emotions to spill the beans on the stand, and the judge seems to exist only to settle objections.
In reality, judges tend to me a lot more involved with the process, and it isn’t uncommon for the judge to object before the other attorney does. Granted that’s usually reserved for the most egregious etiquette breaches, but every judge is different and some “run much tighter ships” than others.
