> 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?"
>

>
> 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 erupted in laughter, and a prompt recess was called.
>
> The officer on the stand has been nominated for this year's "Best
>Comeback" line -- and we think he'll win.
