Jury Duty
Posted by: JesterA potential juror in an assault and battery case, was sitting in a courtroom, answering questions from both sides.
The assistant district attorney asked such questions as: Had I ever been mugged? Did I know the victim or the defendant?
The defense attorney took a different approach, however. “I see you are a teacher,” he said. “What do you teach?”
“English and theater.” the juror responded.
“I guess I better watch my grammar.” the defense attorney quipped.
“No.” the juror shot back. “You better watch your acting.”
When the laughter in the courtroom died down, the juror was excused from the case.
