legally sworn

legally sworn
Put under oath. Being bound by an oath. A person can only be "legally sworn" in a matter "judicially pending" before the court in which he makes oath to give true testimony. If the court is wholly without jurisdiction, the matter is not " judicially pending," and a witness therein cannot be "legally sworn." Smiddy v Commonwealth, 214 Ky 100, 102, 282 SW 774.
