“Guilty on all counts your honor.”
In a dark bar, two men were fighting over a woman. A shinny knife slashes, but misses, his opponents dull, blunt bullet didn’t! A dozen witnesses are questioned, then released. Police take the winner to jail, the coroner gets the loser. The woman cries.
Later, in a bright courtroom, two lawyers are fighting over the man. The shinny defense miscalculates, but not the dull prosecution. Twelve jurors recess, then return. “Guilty on all counts your honor.”
The gunman, leaves with a bailiff, the coroner awaits his next loser.
Another woman cries.
