funny story I heard today...

[PCIntern]

Wheels of Justice Dept.: so this Assistant District Attorney tells me that one of her colleagues was prosecuting a robbery case, and the defense attorney was cross-examining the only witness to the robbery other than the victim. So the defense attorney had told his client to make sure he was dressed nicely for his court date.

So the witness is testifying, and the defense attorney asks him, "How far away from the incident were you?"

reply: about 150 feet

Q: Was there a full moon or a street light illuminating the victim?

A: No.

Q: So if this is the case, how can you be sure that this is the perpetrator?

A: He's w3earing the same outfit he wore that night.


The defense attory said to the A.D.A., "If he gets off, I'm gonna shott him myself for being such a moron."

This may be one of those 'stories', but even if it is, it's great.

1. Sounds like my ex-borther in law ...

he went to court to try to get custody of him daughter, who didn't want to be with him (smart kid). He was scheduled to state his case after breaking for lunch.

During lunch, he went to his car and he got a ticket for parking illegally. He took the ticket with him back to the courthouse. He then told the judge how he's a honest, hardworking guy who'd never break the law ... while a fluorescent orange parking ticket is sticking out of his pocket.

He lost.

2. I was working in court one day when a DUI defendant was fighting

his charges vehemently. Lunch break. Guy drank his lunch and came back to court after lunch smelling like a martini marathon. He lost too...
