Or tell them the defendant borrowed a hundred dollars from you in 1962 & and hasn't paid you back yet.
Or tell them he used to be married to your wife, and she's NEVER said anything good about him.
Or that you saw the guy throw a sack full of kittens in the river.
Or that you saw the guy steal from the offering plate in church.
Or every time he walks by the sheep pen that one of the sheep always calls out to him........."Daaaaaaaaaadd!"
Or the last time you were in jail he was your cellmate and he offered to be your lawyer in court.
Or that you bought a 2nd hand car from him and ended up going to jail because it was stolen and he didn't tell you it was stolen.
Or..............well, I guess you get the idea.
Too bad you can't use my excuse.............."Yes, your Honor, I know the defendant very well. I've arrested him before."
