Small-Town Granny Stuns Prosecution & Criminal Defense Attorney
In a small Mississippi town, a prosecuting attorney called his witness, an elderly woman, to the stand to examine her, according to a blog post. Here’s a transcription of their conversation:
Prosecutor: “Mrs. Jones, do you know me?”
Grandma Jones: “Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I’ve known you since you were a little boy, and frankly, you’ve been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you’re a big shot when you haven’t the brains to realize you’ll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.”
Stunned prosecutor, fumbling, pointed to the defense lawyer and said: “Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?”
Grandma Jones: “Why yes, I do. I’ve known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster too. He’s lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can’t build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the worst 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.”
Judge then asked both lawyers to approach the bench and said: “If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I’ll send you both to the electric chair.”
