Question

Today's riddle

The dead wife.

A man was accused of killing his wife and was under trial at court. In his final statement, the man’s lawyer said “I am sure my client did not commit this murder. Bear with us for a moment and the allegedly murdered wife will come walking in through these doors!”

The judge and jury were all surprised and fixed their gaze at the door but even after five minutes, no one came in.

“You see? You’re not sure she’s dead, which is why you all believed me and waited for her!” said the lawyer, but the judge and jury were quick to announce their verdict of guilty. How were they so sure the man had indeed killed his wife?​

Answer 1
