In a trial, a Southern small town prosecuting attorney called his first witness an elderly woman to the stand. “ Mrs. Jones he said , do you know me ?” She
Replied “ why yes I do know you Mr. Williams I’ve known you since you were a boy, and frankly you’ve been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk behind their backs. You think you’re a big shot when you haven’t the brains to realize you’ll never amount to more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes I know you”.
The Lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do , he pointed across the room and asked “ Mrs. Jones , do you know the the defence attorney ?”.
She again replied “ why yes I do. I’ve known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster to, he’s lazy and bigoted , and he has a drinking problem. He can’t
Build a normal relationship with anyone, and his Law Practice is one of the worse in the entire State. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women, one of them was your wife, yes I know him” .
The Defence attorney nearly died.
The Judge asked both Councellors to approach the Bench , and in a very quiet voice , said, “ If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I’ll send you both to the electric chair.”
