If you ever testify in court, you might wish you could have been as sharp as this policeman.

 

He was being cross-examined by a defence attorney during a felony trial. The lawyer was trying to undermine the police officer's credibility...

 

Q: 'Officer -- did you see my client fleeing the scene?'

A: 'No sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender, running several blocks away.'

 

Q: 'Officer -- who provided this description?'

A: 'The officer who responded to the scene..'

 

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

A: 'Yes, sir. With my life.'

 

Q: 'With your life? Let me ask you this then officer.. Do you have a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties?'

A: 'Yes sir, we do!'

 

Q: 'And do you have a locker in the room?'

A: 'Yes sir, I do.'

 

Q: 'And do you have a lock on your locker?'

A: 'Yes sir.'

 

Q: 'Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with these same officers?'

 

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