DIck-you nailed it!!!!!!!!Originally posted by rburg:
.But I relearned what I already knew. All the black people are the defendants. They bring along multiple wives, chillin', and anyone else for the moral support they need. Then the judge throws all the folks who have screaming kids out.
Yes, there was one babe. She was some kind of court official, she ran the entire mess. Finding papers, running outside to drag people inside, you name it. The judge kind of reminded me of the Gov. in Blazing Saddles. She told him what to do, and he did it.
Defense attorneys all look like they slept in their suits. Or maybe they live under a bridge, who knows.

and as far as your comment about the defense lawyers, I'll let you in on a little secret-the only times we wear our good suits is when we are doing an actual jury trial or in Federal Court-the rest of the time it's the blue blazer, Chinos and a tie-like who do we need to impress?? The Judge-the prosecutor?? the clients in jumpsuits and chains?? (hell, I take my old blazers and ties and leave them in the various judges chambers so if I am called out in an emergenct, I can always "suit up" and preserve the dignity of the COurt.

I also love your take on the judges-that's exactly the way it is here-unless there is a good gun that needs confiscating-then a few of them perk up.
