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 locker room in the police station - 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 that room?
A. Yes sir, I do.

Q. And do you have a lock on your locker?
A. Yes sir, I do

Q. Now why is it, officer, if you trust your  fellow
officers with your life, that you find it necessary to
lock your locker in a room you share with those same
officers?
 
A. You see sir, we share the building with a  court
complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk
through that room.

With that, the courtroom erupted in laughter and a
prompt recess was called.
