Him against the lawyer
After a two-week criminal trial in a very high profile bank robbery case, the judge turned
to the jury foreman and asked, “Has the jury reached a verdict in this case?”
“Yes, we have, your honor,” the foreman responded.
“Would you please pass it to me,” The judge declared, as he motioned for the bailiff to
retrieve the verdict slip from the foreman and deliver it to him.
After the judge read the verdict himself, he delivered the verdict slip back to his bailiff to
be returned to the foreman and instructed the foreman, “Please read your verdict to the
court.”
“We find the defendant not guilty of all four counts of bank robbery,” stated the foreman.
The family and friends of the defendant jumped for joy at the verdict and hug each other
as they shouted expressions of divine gratitude.
The man’s attorney turned to his client and asks, “So, what do you think about that?”
The defendant, with a bewildered look on his face, turned to his attorney and said, “I’m
real confused here. Does this mean that I have to give all the money back?”
