In 2002 I was taking summer classes originally because of a stupid teacher said I needed to take summer school math class which was idiotic but funny when it got found out I had the highest math grades in the entire school. I do Sudoku for fun and math was my favorite and best subject. I would get home and watch the people's court for fun because it was the only good programming on during the time. Early 2000s around noon was garbage for good stuff to watch. Well one episode made me spit out my soda at what happened. It was the only time I ever saw the judge on the People's court lose her mind and tear into anyone which she tore both sides a new asshole as she said cuss words I never heard before. So turns out the case was between a 45 year old and 50 year old and they had been best friends for 45 years they knew each other from birth. Their friendship was nearly destroyed over a really stupid fight that they took each other to court over. They were complaining about each other fighting over a single pair of ordinary white socks that came in a pack if 20 pairs they were both demanding that the one pair belonged to them and it was about to tear their friendship apart but they pissed off the judge so badly she actually came out from behind the desk and was screaming at them to leave her court room before she ended their asses. I have tried finding that episode but I can't seem to find it. It both horrified me and made me laugh my ass off at the same time. I have never seen her cuss before or after. She tore those guys a new asshole screaming at them. I was just expecting to watch some more boob tube to waste time and I saw that and it gave me so much joy from that episode. it was better than a Jerry Springer episode.

My own defense lawyer showed up 20 minutes late, and f*cking fell asleep. That was 18 years ago...he's now a circuit court judge....

[@Draven_starboy]

MY STARS!

[@HankScorpio64]

And probably still asleep.

[@TheAlmightyToaster01]

But did you win though?

[@elderliddle2733]

Maybe that case with you was what woke him up. Pun intended.

[@PokeMageTech]

I mean… That’s unacceptable for a defense attorney, as it’s a disservice to their client. Being late is tolerable from a judge, as justice can still be served.

I was in jury selection for a trial concerning drugs found during a police raid (the defendant was saying he thought the pile of white powder on his coffee table was sugar). The defendant was apparently told to look innocent but looked so guilty trying to look innocent that a number of us on the panel had to stifle laughs. His attorney, apparently a friend of a friend of a friend, who normally did minor cases and very nervous to be there, had to be told by the judge over and over what questions he was supposed to ask, how he was supposed to ask them, and what the next step was in the selection. When it came to my being questioned, his attorney asked me if there was anything that would disqualify me for the trial. I replied, "Well, I was raised that even aspirin is a drug." I was dismissed.

Dutch former lawyer here. One of my cliënts also gave his weed to security. It was a small amount for his own use. He got a receipt and after the hearing he picked the weed up on his way out. No questions asked. 😅

During my custody battle that happened during covid we had alot of video hearings. On the day child support was set to be established he got on the call while at his new worksite and bragged to the judge about how much more money he will now be making than me. The judge was less than pleased about his general lack of professionalism and boasting and ordered him to pay out the maximum allowed for a single child. Plus arrears also set to the maximum amount.

[@Dip-Star-1489]

Got one. Me and my brother were in the foster care system since I was 6 (my brother 2), been in the system for roughly 3 years. My biological family gave over their custody rights, and on the adoption date, our caseworker didn’t show up. We waited for hours and she then sent a text revealing she was on VACATION when we planned the adoption a few months ago! My family said “screw this,” found another caseworker and the adoption went on its way. The worst part is that my adoptive mother would be promoted and relocated to Canada (I was in America) the next year, so if that random caseworker wasn’t there, my mother would need to either reject the promotion, put us back in the system, or have my adoptive dad stay in America to watch over us while my mother was in Canada, which god KNOWS foster care would have a field day with that.

Years ago, in Ohio, a man died. His relatives told his legal counsel to file a lawsuit against EVERYONE connected to the death. Even the coroner / medical examiner who declared him dead. At the time, Ohio law allowed malpractice insurance to charge the doctor more money for the rest of his life because he was "involved in litigation" (it might still allow this). Never mind that it was frivolous.

[@Draven_starboy]

Only in Ohio

[@francinetitherington4060]

I know a case Dr. who was sued because her child was born with a medical condition. It was an ER room delivery.

[@mr.bobcyndaquil4214]

The insurance company probably committed champerty and maintenance and paid the family to sue so they could pocket the extra money.

Had a case in a Judges chamber rather than a court room, case over, now the doors out of the chamber are identical to the door next too it, this lead into the cleaners store room. So guess which door did the defendant use and enter ? Thats right the cleaners cupboard and shut the door..... Christ me and the judge cried with laughter.

The wife being with the judge's thing... Oddly enough, my dad's ex wife was in a relationship with their judge's daughter, and it was proven when the daughter was caught in my dad's truck he lost in the divorce. Crazy thing is, this was in the 90's and the judge kind of ended it after being caught. Dad still didn't get back much of what was lost in the divorce though.

[@Rose-inspirations]

I was in court for to pick up my brother. But there was many people before my him Well, one of the guys had a fught and the judge gave a date for his official Court date. The guys said " im sorry that day does work" so the judge gave another day, once again the guy said "I can't make it". Finally the judge that pissed and the people are laughing. Rhe judge says "what day works for you?" . The guy says "none, I will be sick that day. This is a true so situation.

I have two great stories. My husband was a court bailiff so there are so very many. First was the defendant whose lawyer said he was speeding in the 35 MPH zone because he was driving his elderly, very ill mom to the hospital. My husband read the whole police report so turned to his judge and said, “Your Honor, you should ask if the defendant’s mom was in a side car on the motorcycle or holding on riding on the back?” The attorney was pissed but the judge defended my hubby saying that this was part of his job. The guy got the speeding ticket. The second one was from a forensic scientist testifying down south. He needed to explain evidence about maggots to the jury. He was told he was not allowed to say maggot as it would likely offend the ladies of the jury. He had to testify instead about “legless wormlike organisms.”

re good Samaritan laws: They protect from liability if correctly performed CPR is unsuccessful or ribs are broken. It does NOT protect from accusations of S. misconduct for exposing the sternum and ribs, which are the steps just after detecting pulselessness and applying the AED and/or beginning compressions.

Are you flipping back at fourth between British and American or Irish accents as a reflection of where you think the authors of the posts are from? As a pointer, you don’t have to overdo the our sound at the end of words. Just kinda let the sound relax. Not too much, but a bit. And as a disclaimer, we don’t all sound like Cowboys, nor do we all sound, Irish. Someone who lives in the Midwest, I think I can say that a moderate Irish accent is probably the closest thing on the east side of the Atlantic to your standard American accent, but slightly different, of course, regional variation.
