Legal Advice

Taylor was desperate for business, and was happy to be appointed by
the court to defend an indigent defendant.
The judge ordered Taylor, "You are to confer with the defendant in
the hallway, and give him the best legal advice you can."

After a time, Taylor re-entered the courtroom alone.

When the judge asked where the defendant had gone, Taylor replied,
"You asked me to give him good advice. I found out that he was guilty,
so I told him to split."

An Early Verdict

After a trial had been going on for three days, Finley, the man accused
of committing the crimes, stood up and approached the judge's bench.
"Your Honor, I would like to change my plea from 'innocent' to 'guilty'
of the charges."
The judge angrily banged his fist on the desk. "If you're guilty, why
didn't you say so in the first place and save this court a lot of time
and inconvenience?" he demanded.
Finley looked up wide-eyed and stated, "Well, when the trial started I
thought I was innocent, but that was before I heard all the evidence
against me."

Another Lawyer

Defendant: Your Honor, I want you to appoint me another lawyer.

Judge: And why is that?

Defendant: Because the Public Defender isn't interested in my case.

Judge (to Public Defender): Do you have any comments on the defendant's
motion?

Public Defender: I'm sorry, Your Honor. I wasn't listening.
