Help! I need a joke to go with – Dead Policeman Charged with Corruption
I suppose this is the kind of thing that would make you want to roll someone over in their grave.
Government prosecutors in Malaysia filed corruption charges against a policeman….who had been dead for two years!
The judge scolded the lawyers…(there has to be a joke here somewhere) …"We do not have to include a dead man in the charge. Dead people cannot testify. It's 2007 now, surely the prosecution had time to amend the charge. It is not as if he died yesterday."
Somebody thought to ask another prominent lawyer who reluctantly sided with the judge, "you cannot charge a dead man. When a person dies, the charge dies with him."
You mean confirmation was needed?!
Prosecutors are saying they will CONSIDER amending the charge to exclude the dead guy.
CONSIDERING?
When does a lawyer know his case is lost?
Well it's NOT when the defendant is DEAD.
Okay…that's not funny. Can you do better?
