Courtroom shenanigans...

[WeedWorm]

I call shenanigans on your courtroom shenanigans.

Ok, everyone grab a broom.

When we went to court over a little brawl my father and I had his lawyer was so terrible that the magistrate told him to sit down, shut up, and let the defendant speak.

How bad at your job do you have to be for that to happen? heh.

Depends on the situation. In a professional environment it should be penalized, but if someone slipped on a banana skin you'd have to laugh

Aha, very true. What if someone spontaneously combusted, then slipped on a wet floor, effectively extinguishing said fire? Would it be okay to laugh?

Personally, I would clap. (Especially considering that mere water is unlikely to put out the weird chemical fire going on.)

What sort of prosecutor laughs at a guilty verdict, other than Miles Edgeworth? That sort of gloating shouldn't be allowed in the courts.

Laughing at other peoples' misery makes you automatically lose. =3

I'd be fucking amazed since it's not possible.

If on a linoleum floor, a banana with the inside of the skin touching the ground can slide very easily, particularly if it is old and soft. If somebody stepped on it and it slid, they could lose their footing and fall. I have done it before, it is very possible.

I think you need to look up terminology and edit the post so it's proper. It's very difficult to understand.

I think you're saying your sister (defendant) was being convicted and the victim of your sister (plaintiff) was laughing.

I've been to court over 100 times. Though I've rarely been to sentancing. I am sorry that you and your sister have to go thru this but I'd like to know her charges before I say "What a butthead for laughing at her." Maybe it was laughter from relief not 'enjoying the misery of others' also sounds like the judge was going thru the motions. It's very common for close family to retaliate on a victim.

So it's possible if you happen to live in a lino-floored pigsty.

winner.

Who else did something funny in a court room?

That made me laugh.
I do not have any courtroom stories, as I've fortunately never been to one.

Are they very badly burnt?

They aren't, just very shocked, but their clothes are.

No, it's possible if you go to a school with cheap flooring, and where people litter willy nilly.

Also anywhere outside that has slightly loose gravel beneath it, often the object (banana in this case) can be the proverbial straw for your balance.

Dude, what did your sister do? I mean, you don't have to tell us if you don't want but...what did she do?

 

[Antidamacus]

I get the feeling this story is fake or at least a gross exaggeration.

 

[TheEvilDuck]

OBJECTION!!!!

Unless this is the world of Phoenix Wright the judge can't just do that. There would have to be another trial, with you as the defendant and the Plaintiff would have to call for a Restraining Order. It can't happen all at once regardless of what everyone's spiky haired defense attorney says.

You check if they are ok, then laugh your ass off about it over a pint.
