The Judge said to the defendant. "I thought I told you I never wanted to see you in here again."

  "Your Honor," the criminal said, "that's what I tried to tell the police, but they wouldn't listen."

  Officer: "And you still insist you're innocent, in spite of the fact that we have six witnesses to the crime ?"

  Offender: "If it's witnesses you want, I can produce seventy people who didn't see me steal the stuff!"

  Offender: "You can't arrest me for this. I didn't do anything wrong & I'm a man with the courage of my convictions."
