UPLIFTED HAND
(bouvier) | UPLIFTED HAND. When a man accused of a crime is arraigned, he is required to
raise his hand, probably in order to identify the person who pleads. Perhaps
for the same reason when a witness adopts a particular mode of taking an
oath, as when he does not swear upon the gospel, but upon Almighty God, he
is requested to hold up his hand.
