Usual Suspect

While prosecuting a robbery case, I conducted an interview with the arresting officer. My first question: "Did you see the defendant at the scene?" "Yes, from a block away," the officer answered. "Was the area well lit?" "No. It was pretty dark." "Then how could you identify the defendant?" I asked, concerned. Looking at me as if I were nuts, he answered, "I'd recognize my cousin anywhere."
