> In a criminal justice system based on 12 individuals not
smart enough to get out of jury duty, here is a jury to be proud of:
>
> A defendant was on trial for murder. There was strong
evidence indicating guilt, but there was no corpse. In the defense's closing
statement, the lawyer, knowing that his client would probably be convicted,
resorted to a trick. "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have a surprise for
you all," the lawyer said as he looked at his watch. "Within one minute, the
person presumed dead in this case will walk into this courtroom."
>
> He looked toward the courtroom door. The jurors,
somewhat stunned, all looked on eagerly. The minute passed. Nothing happened.
>
> Finally the lawyer said, Actually, I made up the
previous statement. But you all looked on with anticipation. I, therefore, put
it to you that you have a reasonable doubt in this case as to whether anyone was
killed, and I insist that you return a verdict of not guilty.
>
> The jury retired to deliberate. A few minutes later, the
jury returned and pronounced a verdict of guilty.
>
> But how? inquired the lawyer. You must have had some
doubt; I saw all of you stare at the door.
>
> The jury foreman replied: "Yes, we did look. But your
client didn't."
