Lawyer on Holiday

A lawyer and an engineer were fishing in the Caribbean.

The lawyer said, 'I'm here because my house burned down, and all I owned was destroyed by the fire. The insurance company paid for everything and I'm using some of the insurance money for this trip.'

'That's quite a coincidence,' said the engineer. 'I'm here because my house and all my belongings were destroyed by a flood, and my insurance company also paid for everything.'

The lawyer looked confused... 'How do you start a flood?'

The Jury:

In a criminal justice system based on 12 individuals not smart enough to get out of jury duty, here is a jury of which to be proud.

A defendant was on trial for murder. There was strong evidence indicating guilt, but there was no corpse. In the defence'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. A 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, clearly confused, 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.'

Addendum
This jury story has all the hallmarks of a lawyer joke that has a grain of truth, but which has been embellished.
