Precious Court Moments
Occassionly, I or another attorney will do or say something in court that makes me think, "We're really not very smart sometimes." Fortunately, the great unwashed are much more dependable and a great deal more humorous when it comes to providing courtroom cheer.
Case in point: Defense counsel's client has already entered a guilty plea to driving while under the influence of alcohol and has now returned to court for his sentencing. This gentleman with dark locks that consort not with either shampoo or conditioner, spotty beard and spotted jeans has obviously not spoken with his attorney about appropriate attire for a serioius matter like his sentencing; the t-shirt of his choice featured a palm tree, a large bottle, and lettering in super-large font: CAPTAIN MORGAN.
Sometimes words aren't even necessary.
