- A
young woman was appearing in court to face
a public disorder charge. The
charges were read out, and she was
asked how she pleaded. "Not
guilty," the woman answered
emphatically.
The prosecution council then approached the woman and said: "Is
it
true that on the 11th of December, last year, you committed an
act of
gross indecency with a one-legged dwarf - who was waving a
union jack - on
the roof of a car, whilst travelling at over 100mph
through the center
of London, in a blizzard?"
The woman
composed herself, looked straight at the prosecution council
and calmly
said: "What was the date again?"
- A lawyer passed on and
found himself in
Heaven,
but not at all happy with his accommodations.
He complained
to St. Peter, who told him that his
only recourse was to appeal his
assignment. The
lawyer immediately advised that he intended
to
appeal, but was then told that he would be waiting
at least three years
before his appeal could be
heard. The lawyer protested that a
three-year wait
was unconscionable, but his words fell on deaf
ears.
The lawyer was then approached by the devil, who
told him that he
would be able to arrange an appeal
to be heard in a few days, if the
lawyer was willing
to change venue to Hell. The lawyer asked: "Why
can
appeals be heard so much sooner in Hell?"
The devil answered: "We
have all of the judges."
- A prosecuting attorney called his first witness,
a grandmotherly, elderly woman, to the stand. He approached her and
asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?"
She responded, "Why,
yes, I do know you Mr. Williams. I've known you
since you were a
young boy. And frankly, you've been a big
disappointment to me. You
lie, you cheat on your wife, you manipulate people and
talk about
them behind their backs. You think you're a rising big shot
when you
haven't the brains to realize you never will amount to
anything
more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you."
The lawyer was
stunned. Not knowing what else to do he pointed across
the room and
asked, "Mrs. Williams, do you know the defense attorney?"
She
again replied, "Why, yes I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he
was a
youngster, too. I used to baby-sit him for his parents. And he,
too, has been a real disappointment to me. He's lazy, bigoted,
he has a
drinking problem. The man can't build a normal
relationship with anyone
and his law practice is one of the shoddiest in the
entire state. Yes,
I know him."
At this point, the judge
rapped the courtroom to silence and called
both counselors to the
bench. In a very quiet voice, he said with menace,
"If either of you
asks her if she knows me, you'll be jailed for
contempt!"

enter a guilty plea. The defendant
is sentenced to 30 days."

the defendant, "You can let me try your case, or you can choose to

equals."
"Forget it," retorted the defendant. "I don't want to be tried by a
bunch of thieves."

$15,000. And you, attorney Campos, gave me
$10,000."

check. He handed it
to Leon ... "Now then, I'm returning $5,000, and
we're going to
decide this case solely on its merits."
