The jury, somewhat surprised, looks at the door eagerly. A minute passes. Nothing happens.‎ Finally the lawyer says，“Actually, I made up the previous statement. But you all waited with expectation. I, therefore, put it to you that there is a reasonable doubt in this case as to whether anyone was killed and insist that you return a verdict(裁决) of not guilty.”‎ The jury, clearly confused, retires to discuss.‎ A very few minutes later, the jury returns and a representative pronounces a verdict of guilty.‎ ‎“ But how？” inquires the lawyer.“ You must have had some doubt; I saw all of you stare at the door.” ‎ Answers the representative, “ Oh, we did look.
