Courtroom humor

[ToolGuy]

A Defense attorney was cross-examining a police officer during a felony trial -- it went something like this.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 awayQ. Officer, Who provided this description?A. The officer who responded to the scene.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 locker room in the police station - a room where you change your cloths in preparation for your daily duties?A. Yes sir, we do.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 fellow officers?A. You see sir, We share the building with a 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 come-back" line and we think he'll win.(Reference Jim Casey Publishing) Policeguide.com

LOL...that's great! I bet the lawyer didn't know what to say next.

Yeah, here the lawyer thought he/she was being all clever and then to get that as a response...it would throw you for a loop....LOLI have to share this one with dad so he can put it on his fly fishing forum...they get some really good jokes over there too.
