Is A Judge Allowed To Interrupt An Attorney During Closing Arguments?

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

I love the law and am curious about so many things that go on in a courtroom. Is the judge permitted to correct, oppose, disagree, etc. with an attorney who is making his closing argument? For instance, if the attorney lies about something that went on during the trial. Is the judge permited to stop the argument?
