If you ever testify in court, you might wish
you could have been as sharp as this policeman.
He was being cross-examined by a defense
attorney during a felony trial. The lawyer was
trying to undermine the policeman's credibility...
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 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 room where you
change your clothes in preparation
for your daily duties?"
A: "Yes sir, we do!"
Q: "And do you have a locker in the 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, you find it
necessary to lock your locker in a room
you share with these 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."
The courtroom EXPLODED with laughter, and
a prompt recess was called. The officer on the
stand has been nominated for this year's
"Best Comeback" line -- and we think he'll win.
