Many years ago, I had a buddy who was called to jury duty. He was impaneled on the jury on a Friday afternoon, and was told to report back Monday morning for the Trial to begin. The defendant of the trial was charged with Drunk driving. When my friend reported for duty he was told that the charge was dismissed. Seems that the arresting officer and only witness for the procecution was involved in a fatal car wreck over the weekend. The officer was drunk, and slammed his personal vechicle into a tree, killed on the spot..Sad but true…

That has to earn Washington State more than two more points. That is just too funny.

Hicks could have picked up at least one more style point by saying–It’s not my car

That’s what families are for. They bail you out of trouble. At least here in Florida.

#24

If your client is in jail, how do they raise the money to actually pay you? Just curious. This would be especially relevant for the repeat offenders.

I meant #21. I guess I am still traumatized by the whole ordeal. At least I got paid. Captive audiences tend to pay you to help get them out of jail.

Have a friend who paid for strippers with the wifey’s credit card. He’s divorced.

#20- that is how I know all about visitor’s parking at the jail. The Judge thought it was funny. Me. Not. So. Much. I have to agree with Excuse Me @ 15 – some people – Kenny Stabler notwithstanding – should be euthanized.

” . . . a combo comparable to being caught paying for a prostitute with your wife�s credit card.”

This reminds me: when Jerry Springer was the mayor of Cincinnati (no, we’re not proud), he paid for *ahem* professional services with personal check . . . that bounced.

#18 So we can assume that wasn’t a good day in court for you?

@Blon,
Nah.

It was a personal check.

I once had a client who was scheduled for trial on a DUI charge – and while on the way to court for the trial – was arrested for DUI. Try explaining to the Judge why your client would not be showing up for Court.

Just to be clear, there’s nothing wrong with paying for a prostitute with the wife’s plastic, it’s just getting caught that’s the problem?

i once did an overnighter in lock-up with a guy who got a DUI 6 hours after being released from jail for another DUI. Yup- he went straight to the bar after jail and got wasted and drove home, only to get pulled over again.
There are just some people that should be euthanized like a lame horse and taken out of the gene pool.

and for the record, my overnighter was for drunk in public and inciting a riot, just for being on the field after the Auburn/Florida game in 2001. TOTAL bullshit charge.
