Bank Robber Joke
After a long two-week
criminal trial in a high profile bank robbery case, the
jury finally ended its 14 hours of deliberations and entered the
courtroom to
deliver its verdict to the judge. The judge turns to the jury
foreman and asks,
"Has the jury reached a verdict in this case?"
"Yes, your honor," the foreman responded.
"Would you please pass it to me," the judge declared, as
he motioned for the
bailiff to retrieve the verdict slip from the foreman and deliver it
to him.
After the judge reads the verdict himself, he delivers the verdict
slip back to
his bailiff to be returned to the foreman and instructs the foreman,
"Please
read your verdict to the court."
"We find the defendant NOT GUILTY of all four counts of bank
robbery," stated
the foreman.
The family and friends of the defendant jump for joy at the sound of
the "not
guilty" verdict and hug each other as they shout expressions of
divine
gratitude. The defendant's attorney turns to his client and asks,
"So, what do
you think about that?"
The defendant looks around the courtroom slowly with a bewildered
look on his
face and then turns to his defense attorney and says, "I'm real
confused here.
Does this mean that I have to return the money?"
