If Anyone Can Get Him Out Of it, She Can

A defendant was on trial for murder. There was strong evidence indicating guilt, but no body had been found. When giving the closing statement, his high-flying lawyer knew there was a good chance of him being convicted.
 
“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have a surprise for you all,” said the lawyer.

“Within one minute, the person presumed dead in this case will walk into this courtroom.” And she turned and pointed at the courtroom door.

The jurors, somewhat stunned, all looked on eagerly. A minute passed.

Nothing happened.
 
Finally the lawyer said, “Actually, I made up the previous statement. But you all looked on with anticipation. I therefore put to you that you have a reasonable doubt in this case as to whether anyone was killed and insist that you return a verdict of not guilty.”

The jury, clearly confused, retired to deliberate.

A few minutes later, the jury returned and pronounced a verdict of guilty.

“But how?” inquired the lawyer. “You must have had some doubt - I saw all of you stare at the door!!”

The jury foreman replied: “Oh, we did."

"But your client didn’t.”
