Joke told recently in Judge Ito's's courtroom. One of Mr. Simpson's
lawyers approaches his client "I have good news and bad news," he says,
"Which do you want to first?"
"The bad news," Mr. Simpson says.
"The bad news is that it is yor blood all over the crime scene,
that the DNA proves it."
"Well, so what's the good new?" Mr. Simpson asks.
"The good news is that your cholesterol is only 130."
What is noteworthy is not the joke itself but who was telling it, where,
how and to whom. Much to the chagrin of Mr. Simpson's lawyers, it was told
by Judge Ito himself, in his robe, at the bench, to Mr. Cochran during a
break in the trial.
