>A defense attorney was cross-examining a police officer during a felony
>trial--it went like this:
>
>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
>locker room in the police station--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 that 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, that you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share
>with those officers?
>
>A: You see sir, we share the building with a court complex, and
>sometimes defense attorneys have been known to walk through that room.
