Attorney: Officer, did you see my client fleeing the scene?

 

Officer: No sir, but I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender running several blocks away.

 

D.A.: Officer, who provided this description?

 

Officer: The officer who responded to the scene.

 

D.A.: A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?

 

Officer: Yes sir, with my life.

 

D.A.: 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 you daily duties?

 

Officer: Yes sir, we do.

 

D.A.: And do you have a locker in that room?

 

Officer: Yes sir, I do.

 

D.A.: And do you have a lock on your locker?

 

Officer: Yes sir.

 

D.A.: 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?

 

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

 

The courtroom erupted in laughter, and a prompt recess was called.

 

Now THAT's what I call a comeback !!
