| The Joke |
A
judge in a small city was hearing a
drunk-driving case and the
defendant, who had both a record and a
reputation for driving under the
influence, demanded a jury trial. It was
nearly 4:30 p.m. and getting a jury
would take time, so the judge
called a recess and went out in the hall
looking to impanel anyone
available for jury duty. He found a dozen
lawyers in the main lobby
and told them that they were a jury. The lawyers
thought this would
be a novel experience and so followed the judge back
to the
courtroom.
The trial was over in about 10 minutes and it was very clear
that the
defendant was guilty. The jury went into the jury-room, the
judge
started getting ready to go home, and everyone waited. After
nearly three
hours, the judge was totally out of patience and sent
the bailiff into the
jury-room to see what was holding up the
verdict. When the bailiff
returned, the judge said, "Well have the
y got a verdict yet?" The bailiff
shook his head and said,
"Verdict? Hell, they're still doing
nominating speeches for the
foreman's position!" |
