A four-bubble courtroom comic. A lawyer in a suit stands before a balding, bearded judge; a bald man is shown in profile at lower left. Lawyer: "I select this juror." Judge: "But... but he just admitted to shooting 150 toddlers in the face!" Lawyer: "Right, so he's in a unique position to sympathize with my client." Judge: "Why's that?" Lawyer: "Because my client sho- OH HO HO! NICE TRY!" The lawyer nearly confesses his client's crime, then catches himself and acts as though the judge was trying to trick him. Votey: a man holds up a slip of paper reading "NOT GUILTY" with a checkmark and says, "We've reached a verdict."
