In one of our district courts the Judge usually has the court coordinator sit immediately to his right (in the witness box) to assist him with the files and the docket.

Today, a defendant was going to have a bond hearing. Prior to the beginning of the hearing, the coordinator moved from the witness box and into the jury box so as not to interfere with the witnesses.

The hearing begins and several witnesses are called. Halfway through the hearing the Defendnat leans over and asks his counsel:

"How came I only get one juror?"

The even funnier response from his attorney:

"Because the other 11 have already decided you're guilty"
