During a felony trial a policeman was being cross-examined by a defense attorney. The lawyer was trying hard to undermine the policemans credibility... Lawyer: Officer,did you see my client fleeing the scene? Police officer: No sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender, running several blocks away. Lawyer: Officer,who provided this description? Police officer: The officer who responded to the scene. Lawyer: A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers? Police officer: Yes, sir. With my life. Lawyer: 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? Police officer: Yes sir, we do! Lawyer: And do you have the locks on your ambries? Police officer: Yes sir, we do. Lawyer: And do you have the lock on your ambry? Police officer: Yes,sir. Lawyer: Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, you find it necessary to lock your ambry in a room you share with these same officers? Police officer: You see, sir,we share the building with the court complex too and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.
