An attorney is questioning a police officer's credibility in a trial ...
Attorney:
'Officer, did you see my client fleeing the scene?'
Officer:
'No sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender, running several blocks away.'
Attorney:
'Officer, who provided this description?'
Officer:
'The officer who responded to the scene.'
Attorney:
'A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?'
Officer:
'Yes, sir. With my life.'
Attorney:
'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?'
Officer:
'Yes sir, we do!'
Attorney:
'And do you have a locker in the room?'
Officer:
'Yes, sir, I do.'
Attorney:
'And do you have a lock on your locker?'
Officer:
'Yes, sir.'
Attorney:
'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?'
Officer:
'You see, sir, we share the building with the court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.'
