A man is in court for killing his wife. In the closing statements the man’s lawyer surprises everyone when he announces “His wif

e was just missing. Everyone look at those doors. His wife is going to walk in those doors in about 30 seconds.” The entire court is silent and the jury stares at the door as the lawyer and the defendant stare at them. After a couple of minutes the lawyer says “See! If you were so sure he killed his wife, you wouldn’t be watching that door!”
The jury goes into deliberation and comes back almost immediately with a guilty verdict. Why did the jury convict him?

They might have thought the man and his lawyer were saucy, or think it is all a joke. But the lawyer made a good point. People might have been ashamed at being tricked, so they would have voted against him.

Dear Alex Patan                                                                      

I thought i would hate the school. I thought i wouldn't make any friends. I thought there where gonna be bullies. But I thought wrong. The teachers are amazing especially Mister Jason, He's Hilarious. He always rewards us when we get good grades and last week he let us watch " It " for an early start of Halloween. I met this new girl named maya she's the sweetest person. Her parents are amzing to and her hous eis huge. Plus the math teacher is super sweet unlike miss Penton. There this really weird guy named max, he crazy, he always comes to the lunch area and starts dancing on the tables. I miss you and i wish you were here but, I prefer this school.

                                                                 

                                                                                   Sincerely, James Baton
