In a trial, a lawyer called his first witness, a grandmother, elderly woman named Onyinyechi Egbuku to the stand. He approached her and asked, "Mama Egbuku, do you know me?" She responded, "Why, yes, I do know you, Mr Nonso Mikel.
I've known you since you were a young boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to parents and the town. You lie, you cheat on your Mimi, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you." The lawyer Nonso was stunned!
Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs. Egbuku, do you know the defence lawyer mr. Don Henry?" She again replied, "Why, yes, I do. I've known Mr Don Henry since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with 3 different women. One of them was your wife Mimi.
Yes, I know him. The defence lawyer almost died.
The judge Henry Nwambu asked both lawyers to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said, "If either of you idiots ask her if she knows me, I'll sentence u to death by burning!"
