My father was an attorney and grandfather a state supreme court justice. I was raised on stupid courtroom stories.

Stupid courtroom stories are a subset of stupid criminal stories. Fortunately for society, most criminals aren’t the sharpest bowling balls in the drawer. If they were, they wouldn’t be criminals.

I have some elderly neighbors that go sit in drug court a couple times a month for entertainment.

Goofy courtroom story...true or not ? who knows

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 defense 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.’

    The courtroom EXPLODED with laughter, and a prompt recess was called.
