Safer in Prison
Arguing for my client to be released on his own recog. The judge asks him where he is going to live. “With my fiancé”, he says.
He spins a lovely tale about how wonderful his fiancé is, how supportive, did he mention they are having a baby and he wants to get out of jail and take care of his soon-to-be wife and kid to support them properly? The judge asks the courtroom, “could Defendant’s fiancé please approach the bench?”
From opposite sides of the room, two women stand up and start walking to the front. One is about 4 months pregnant and the other is nearly 9 months pregnant.
They are looking at each other with identical expressions of “who are you?” You could see the exact moment when each of them realized.
The fight started before they even got to counsel’s table. Pregnancy or not, these chicks were seriously trying to kill one another. The bailiffs had to stop laughing long enough to break up the fight.
My client says, “your Honor, I didn’t think they’d both come.” The judge said he was denying bail for my client’s own protection.
