Lawyer joke about the importance of jury selection

If you've ever pulled jury duty, you know that 30-40 people are called in, and the attorneys are allowed to question the jurors and dismiss some of them until they have a pool of 12 jurors.

Now in this particular trial, the defendant had been charged with bestiality. The prosecutor began his voir dire, and explained to the prospective jurors:

"Ladies and gentleman, It's important that you know the facts of this case to ensure you can be impartial as you consider the evidence before you today. The defendant is charged with bestiality, and the evidence is going to show that he did maliciously, and with malice aforethought, sodomize one sheep on or about the date of July 30th. Having had his way with this sheep, the defendant then turned the animal around and presented his genitals, which the animal did then lick until clean."

One prospective juror turns to another and whispers "a good sheep will do that, ya know!"

"Your honor, I would like to dismiss juror number 4 for cause" said the prosecutor.
