Smart Jury (joke)

My cousin sent me this.
Smart Jury
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. 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."

Very clever story!
(BTW, when I got picked for jury duty, I was happy to serve and didn't do anything to get out of it. )
