Hello All

Here is an interestingstory sent me.

In a criminal justice system based on 12 individuals not smart enough to get out of jury duty, here is the exception:

A defendant was on trial for murder. There was strong evidence indicating guilt, but there was no corpse.

In the defense's closing statement, the lawyer, knowing that his client would probably be convicted, resorted at the last minute to a trick.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have a surprise for you all," the Lawyer said as he looked at his watch. "Within one minute, the person presumed dead in this case will walk into this courtroom." He looked toward the courtroom door. The jurors, somewhat stunned, all looked on eagerly.

A minute passed. Nothing happened.

Finally the lawyer said, "Actually, I made up the previous statement. But you all looked on with anticipation. I put it to you that you have a reasonable doubt in this case as to whether anyone was killed and therefore I suggest that you have no option but to return a verdict of not guilty."

The jury retired to deliberate. In only a few minutes, the jury returned and pronounced a verdict of guilty.

"But how?" inquired the lawyer. "You must have had some doubt. I saw all of you stare at the door."

The jury foreman replied:
"Yes, we did look at the door, but your client didn't."

Hardluck

It is said that people just do not look outside. Currently we judge from the outside, not anymore.
