My friend at the time was binning his QC and devising a wee plan with Mr McBride, the wee guy almost halved his jail time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Pikey Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Never done jury duty but attended court in moral support of my sister who had took a pixaxe to her ex mans car rather than stab him (on my advice). that was quite funny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 This popped up on Listverse today ... http://listverse.com/2018/09/25/10-cold-killers-who-made-the-mistake-of-representing-themselves/ Not the most light-hearted of lists, but this did make me laugh: Alcala decided not only to represent himself during the murder trial but also to cross-examine himself in the third person. In court, he asked himself in a much deeper voice than normal, “Rodney, will you please tell us about your hair?” He continued, “Okay, Mr. Alcala, can you tell us what you did June 15?” After each question, he replied in a higher-pitched tone. It was all quite confusing to the court. Orange County Superior Court Judge Francisco Briseno described the situation as a “tad awkward.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ2 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I'm not saying he had to defend himself but that was what the judge said to him at the time, when I left that day the wee guy was still under the impression that he was defending himself on the Monday, he had been offered 10 years for a murder plea, ended up getting 10 years for a lesser charge, might not sound like a difference but you've no lifelong License for the 2nd, and you'll serve 40 months less. Ah right, when you said “judge ordered him to defend himself” I thought, well, the judge ordered him to defend himself? I’m confused now. I’ve been in court once, on jury duty but wasn’t selected. Been fined and cautioned plenty times but usually for daft stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf it was 16 years ago so it might have been an off the cuff remark by somebody rather than an order from the judge. It was the village of Fenwick rather than the hotel too.

WHat was the charge? Something #staunch related? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 a lawyer told me his grandfather had read a court report in a South of Scotland paper in the 1970s about a case of mutton molesting. The accused reportedly said, when found guilty, "it's a sad day when a man cannot interfere with his ain sheep"... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he was joking at the time, he was pissed off that Findlay hadn't turned up and was taking his frustration out on the wee innocuous looking guy in the dock, there was certainly no clarification that the judge didn't mean it by the time I was outside talking to the wee fella and his mates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister and her ex spent all their time drinking and trying to f**k each over at every chance. when they split up rather than thinking about their three young kids. me and my mum had to deal with this shitfest week in week out. So when she phoned pissed one night telling me she was gonna stab him etc etc , Me being fed up with their pish said don't do that you'll get 20 years just do his car instead hoping she'd get lifted. Result!! Going to court on the Monday and seeing how a weekend in London Road police station and a court appearance had wiped out her drink fuelled bravado was very pleasing. Added bonus were the stories o f the people up before her. one old guy looked like having the worst case of the Fear ever. He had come home steaming on the Saturday and panned all his downstars windows in when his wife gave him a dinner he didn't like 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
