Jokes of the Week
A
defense attorney was cross-examining a police officer during a felony
trial:
Q: Officer, did you see my client fleeing the scene?
A: No sir, but I subsequently observed a person matching the description
of the offender running several blocks away.
Q: Officer, who provided this description?
A: The officer, who responded to the alarm.
Q: A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender.
Do you trust your fellow officers?
A: Yes sir, with my life.
Q: With your life? Let me ask you this then officer - do you have a
room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties?
A: Yes sir.
Q: And do you have a locker in that room?
A: Yes sir, I do.
Q: And do you have a lock on your locker?
A: Yes sir.
Q: Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your
life, that you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share
with those same officers?
A: You see, sir, we share the building with the court complex, and
sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.
With that, the courtroom erupted in laughter, and a prompt recess was
called. The officer on the stand has been nominated for this year's Best
Comeback!
