Police Officer on Trial.

A police officer was being cross-examined by a defense attorney during a felony trial.

The lawyer was trying to undermine the police officer’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 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 the 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.

Did you have a good laugh?
