"At the height of a political corruption trial ..." joke

At the height of a political corruption trial, the prosecuting attorney attacked a witness. “Isn't it true, ” he bellowed, “that you accepted five thousand dollars to compromise this case? ” The witness stared out the window as though he hadn't heard the question. “Isn't it true that you accepted five thousand dollars to compromise this case? ” the lawyer repeated. The witness still did not respond. Finally, the judge leaned over and said, “Sir, please answer the question. ” “Oh, ” the startled witness said, “I thought he was talking to you. ”
