Real Life Stories of Lawyers’ Dumbest Clients

Full Hands, Empty Head

Posting my mother’s story on her behalf: She was a public defender and once got a client who was charged with reckless endangerment for the n-th time (can’t remember how many). She tells him to basically be quiet and she will talk to the ADA and see what can be worked out.

They end up getting in front of the judge and the client just starts trying to tell the judge his story – wherein he complains that he had just stopped at McDonald’s and so had a big mac in one hand and a large coke in the other hand.

His cupholder wasn’t easily accessible, so since both hands were full he clearly couldnt control the fact that he was going 90+ on a winding country road with a 30 mph speed limit.
