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
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 officers with your
life, that you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you
share
with those same officers?
A. You see sir, we share the building with the entire court complex,
and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.
