Bank Robbery

After a laborious two-week criminal trial in a very
high profile bank robbery case, the jury finally ended
its 14 hours of deliberations and entered the courtroom
to deliver its verdict to the judge. The judge turns to
the jury foreman and asks, "Has the jury reached a verdict
in this case?"

"Yes we have, your honor," the foreman responded.

"Would you please pass it to me,"

The judge declared, as he motioned for the bailiff to
retrieve the verdict slip from the foreman and deliver it
to him.

After the judge reads the verdict himself, he delivers
the verdict slip back to his bailiff to be returned to
the foreman and instructs the foreman,

"Please read your verdict to the court."

"We find the defendant NOT GUILTY of all four counts of bank
robbery," stated the foreman.

The family and friends of the defendant jump for joy at
the sound of the "not guilty" verdict and hug each other
as they shout expressions of divine gratitude. The defendant's
attorney turns to his client and asks,

"So, what do you think about that?"

The defendant looks around the courtroom slowly with a bewildered
look on his face and then turns to his defense attorney and says,

"I'm real confused here. Does this mean that I have to give
all the money back?"
