OK, Pam, if you insist
The District Attorney smiled a smile so oily one of the officers next to him slipped out of his chair and fell to the floor. "Well, we all know that Superman is in *love* with Lois Lane," he drawled, "so clearly he was lying."
"So if Superman lies on the witness stand, I guess that means the city needs to throw out all the criminals his testimony has put away in the last 3 1/2 years, huh? How many has it been ... four .. five thousand?"
Everyone in the courtroom blanched.
"Oh, well, we didn't say *that*," the judge fumbled, looking at the District Attorney in a panic.
The District Attorney wiped his brow. "No, no, I didn't say that ... I mean, after all, it would be a disaster for my campaign if the people found out that I allowed that many criminals to be put back on the street." He looked nervously around the courtroom. "But no one is going to tell anyone, right?"
Every reporter in the room made a dive for their cell phones.
"Damn."
