During a trial, in a small East Kentucky town, the local prosecuting
attorney called his first witness to the stand. She was sworn in, asked
if
she would tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, on
the
Bible, so help her God.
The witness was a proper well-dressed elderly lady, the Grandmother
type,
well spoken and poised.
The prosecuting attorney approached the woman and asked, "Mrs. Jones,
do
you know me?'" She responded, "Why, yes I do know you, Mr. Williams.
I've
known you since you were a young boy and frankly, you've been a big
disappointment to me. You lie, cheat on your wife, manipulate people
and
talk badly about them behind their backs. You think you're a rising big
shot
when you haven't the sense to realize you never will amount to anything
more
than a two-bit paper-pushing shyster. "Yes, I know you quite well."
The lawyer was stunned. He couldn't even think for a few minutes. Then,
slowly backed away, fearing the looks on the judge and jurors' faces,
not to
mention the court reporter who documented every word. Not knowing what
else
to do, he pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know
the
defense attorney?
" She again replied, "Why, yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he
was a
youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, has a bad drinking problem. The man
can't build or keep a normal relationship with anyone and his law
practice
is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on
his
wife with three different women. Yes, I know him."
The defense attorney almost fainted and was seen slipping downward in
his
chair, looking at the floor. Laughter mixed
with gasps, thundered throughout the courtroom and the audience was on
the
verge of chaos.
At this point, the judge brought the courtroom to silence, called both
counselors to the bench, and in a very quiet voice said, "If either of
you
morons asks her if she knows me, you're going to jail."
