at the trial they said he had been divorced two years you're right Fred go on go on what so petrini sits down in the booth with his ex-wife and this other guy he says to his ex-wife hi baby I'm see you long time man I'm really surprised to see you with another guy ugly as you [Applause] are I don't have to take this let him finish let him finish this other guy says don't you call my woman ugly and trapini said if you think this woman is good-looking then you should be a dog catcher that makes the other guy mad he said you want to go outside with me and terapon say yeah I go outside with you anytime Outside Inside upside your head anywh you like so the two of them go outside into the alley when they get out into the alley Teto he says look maybe I was a little Hasty in there you know I was hadn't seen my wife in a long time and I was a little jealous so other guy said oh that's all right pal don't NE you and me fighting over old fish face in there that's it Mr Sanford will you get to the point now Tony Rooney it's cold and I'm going on inside and the other guy says well I'll wait out here a while because I got to go to the toilet there's no Men's Room in an alley this when you got to go real bad it's a men's room anyway so this other guy goes over to the lamp post and he's mad because his shoes are wet he's standing there alone and a burglar sneaks up behind him gra around the neck and choking him and he's struggling actually he's not struggling he's trying to pull his zipper Rober panics and chokes him to death then he takes the wallet and disappears up into the alley now wait a minute they never said anything about his wallet missing they said he can identify him so someone must have stole his wallet Mr Sanford all you got to do is look at him and you can see that he's guilty see that's what I'm talking about none of you people know what it means to be pushed around because you're different I don't understand well I try to explain to you now say for instance if you and I are in a liquor store you're in there to get a bottle of champagne I'm in there to get a bottle of wine now you pull out a gun and stick up the liquor store and we go outside and there's a cop you run one way and I run the other way now who is the cop going to chase me or you I don't know I'll give you a hint the guy with the permanent suntan and the ri come off it's Sanford yeah that's just your personal hangup I really don't see what that has to do with oh no what's the matter this my purse it had $200 and it it's gone you got to be k your Pur miss it must be was under my chair just minutes ago I don't see it anywhere well the person who took it has got to be right in this [Laughter] room what y'all looking at me for well Fred you are sitting next to her and we know the two of you didn't get along and of all the people in this room you probably need the money the most I want my purse we know you took it see there yall saying I'm guilty just because I look guilty but anybody here could have used that money now take for instance you buddy now you're a married man but all week long you've been making kissy lips with with with her I know you need the money cuz you should have your eyes [Applause] examined what about you you crook what are you talking about I'm talking about you turning in those expense slips for your automobile so what I saw you getting off the bus everybody does that right on anybody here could have been a crook and they got nothing to do with the way you look well maybe we have been a little Hasty I think we all owe Fred an apology sorry sorry sorry still well I'm glad you apologize because really hurt but I prove my point that looks don't have nothing to do with being Guilty By the way here's your purse has the jury reached a verdict we have your honor has the jury been pulled and is this verdict unan us it is your honor will the defendant rise and face the jury I'll find you guilty or not guilty we the jury find the defendant not guilty [Laughter] [Music] [Applause] hey buddy how you doing on behalf of my client I really want to thank you I heard that you were the lone juror that held out for my client's innocence no kidding yeah Mr sford was the one that convinced all the others that prejudice and bigotry have no place in a court of law all right I'm proud of you friend Sanford Nick tone I just want to thank you for helping me get out of this Jam hey I'd like to show you my appreciation huh how would you like to go across the alley to that nice little bar for a drink let's get out of here before he starts again
