A defense attorney was
cross-examining a
police officer during a felony trial — it went like this:

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 room in the police station, 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 that 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 of
ficers with your
life, that you find it necessary to lock your
locker in a room you
share with those officers?

A: You see sir,
we share the building with a court complex, and
sometimes defense
attorneys have been known to walk through that room.
