Say What?! – The Not-So-Absent Witness

Originally published by .


From Jim. D. Bowmer, in this criminal case the defense counsel had just moved for continuance on the ground of absence of a defense witness.


Judge: Well, why don’t we call the list of witnesses and see who’s here? (The list was called and the supposedly “absent” witness answered “Present.”)


Defense Attorney: Your Honor, I move for continuance on the grounds of surprise. He promised me he wouldn’t be here.
