The Trial of Mr Smith

(source unknown)

"Mr. Smith, you were held up at gunpoint on the corner of 16th & Locust?"
"Yes."
"Did you struggle with the robber?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"He was armed."
"Then you made a conscious decision to comply with his demands
rather than to resist?"
"Yes."
"Did you scream? Cry out?"
"No. I was afraid."
"I see. Have you ever been held up before?"
"No."
"Have you ever given money away?"
"Yes, of course -"
"And did you do so willingly?"
"What are you getting at?"
"Well, let's put it like this, Mr. Smith.  You've given away money in the
  past - in fact, you have quite a reputation for philanthropy.  How can
  we be sure that you weren't contriving to have your money taken away
  from you by force?"
"Listen, if I wanted -"
"Never mind.  What time did this holdup take place, Mr. Smith?"
"About 11 p.m."
"You were out on the streets at 11 p.m.?  Doing what?"
"Just walking."
"Just walking?  You know that it's dangerous being out on the street that
  late at night.  Weren't you aware that you could have been held up?"
"I hadn't thought about it."
"What were you wearing at the time, Mr. Smith?"
"Let's see.  A suit.  Yes, a suit."
"An expensive suit?"
"Well - yes."
"In other words, Mr. Smith, you were walking around the streets late at
  night in a suit that practically advertised the fact that you might be
  a good target for some easy money, isn't that so?  I mean, if we didn't
  know better, Mr. Smith, we might even think you were asking for this to
  happen, mightn't we?"
"Look, can't we talk about the past history of the guy who did this to
me?"
"I'm afraid not, Mr. Smith.  I don't think you would want to violate his
  rights, now, would you?"
