Good times in court

#1 Post by tlynn78 » Tue May 07, 2024 12:50 pm

Mistake #1: Defendant insists on represeting himself in a felony criminal matter. He is granted stand-by counsel.
Mistake #2: Defendant insists there 'must be' video footage of the perp 'wearing an orange jacket.' Defendant claims to own no such jacket.
Mistake #3: (the biggie) Guess what has been hanging off the back of Defendant's chair since he arrived at court?

Can't make this stuff up.

Well, to be fair he was stealing a U-Haul truck so maybe trying to blend in?

The prosecution's ready for that. They found footprints at the scene that match the guy's shoes.
