A woman was in court for killing her husband. She said she wasn’t guilty and that she dearly
missed him. In the closing statement, the woman’s lawyer stands up and says, “Her husband
was just missing. Everyone look at the doors. He’s going to walk through them in about 30
seconds.”

The entire jury stares at the doors waiting for waiting for this woman’s husband to walk
through the doors. The lawyer and the woman stare at the jury.

The lawyer concludes by saying, “See! If you were so sure she killed her husband, you
wouldn’t be watching that door!”

The jury immediately gave a guilty verdict. Why?

Answer
The woman was watching the jury and not the doors because she knew that
her husband wouldn’t walk through them because she had killed him. If she
has really missed him like she said, she would have been watching the
doors.
