According to tradition, the guilty cannot be hidden.

Think of the fellow who wanted to be dismissed from jury duty. He tried every excuse to no avail. On the day of the trial he decided to give it one more shot.

“Your Honor,” he said, ” I must be excused from this trial because I am prejudiced against the defendant. I took one look at the man over there with those beady eyes and that twisted smile and I said to myself, ‘He’s a crook! He’s guilty, guilty, guilty.’ So your Honor, I could not possibly stay on this jury.”

“Get back in the jury box,” the judge said. “That’s the defense attorney.”
