A guy was on trial for murder and if convicted, would get
the electric chair. His brother found out that a red neck
was on the jury and figured he would be the one to bribe. He
told the red neck that he would be paid $10,000 if he could
convince the rest of the jury to reduce the charge to
manslaughter.
The jury was out an entire week and returned with a verdict
of manslaughter.
After the trial, the brother went to the red neck's house,
told him what a great job he had done and paid him the
$10,000.
The red neck replied that it wasn't easy to convince the
rest of the jury to change the charge to manslaughter. They
all wanted to let him go.
