  *Subject:* POLICEMAN TESTIFIES IN COURT LUCKY

 

    **_Smart man._***_
    _*
    ** 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 erupted in 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.***
