What is said when the witness puts their hand over the Bible?
This is an age old practice that is still in play today. What it means is that the witness is swearing on God's word, the Bible, that the testimony will be true.

Can you refuse to testify as a witness can you plead the fifth?
Yes, you can refuse to testify as a witness under certain circumstances, particularly if your testimony could incriminate you. This is known as "pleading the Fifth," which refers to the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution that protects individuals from self-incrimination. However, this right must be invoked during the testimony, and the court may require you to explain why you believe your testimony could be self-incriminating. In some cases, you may still be compelled to testify if you do not have a valid basis for refusing.
How do you request a person as a witness?
First, you ask the person to be a witness and whether he/she will voluntarily appear as a witness. It is usually wise to follow this up with a subpoena just in case the person has other plans or a change of mind. Second, if the person refuses and you still want the person as a witness, you subpoena the person to appear at trial. Third, you hire the person, if the person is going to give expert opinion testimony.
When can a suspect be compelled to testify?
A suspect can be compelled to testify in a court of law when they are granted immunity, meaning they cannot be prosecuted based on their testimony. Additionally, if the suspect is a witness in a case where their testimony is essential, the court may require them to testify, although they can still invoke their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination if their testimony could incriminate them. Ultimately, the specifics depend on jurisdiction and the circumstances of the case.

Can a prosecutor or defense attorney use a witness if the witness has told more than one lie?
Whoever's side the witness is for can decide how to present the witness. It is not unheard of for prosecutor or defense attorneys to bring out the lie first, along with the reason(s) the person lied. However, the witness-confessional is usually extended only once; the person better fess up to everything right then. And even if the person puts everything out on the table, the judge or jury can still hold it against the person and choose not to believe the testimony, in part or in full.
Can an expert witness describe the effects of an injury in court to the left side of the body when in fact the injury is to the right side and still be considered an expert in the case?
It is 'the court' who decides who gets to be qualified as an "expert witness" - if the testimony was as badly mistaken as the questioner leads us to believe then the judge (or the jury) will take that discrepancy into account when they consider the verdict.
