The Guy Was Toast
I used to spend a lot of time in courtrooms. Once, I was watching a proceeding for a guy who was taken in for driving under the influence. When he was giving his testimony to the court, he spontaneously said that he brought a bottle of vino to visit a friend in the hospital. He said that the friend couldn’t drink it, so he consumed the bottle himself.
At that point, his lawyer started trying to interrupt him in order to get him to shut up. The guy just yelled, “DON’T INTERRUPT ME”. To his own lawyer. The judge said, “You should probably listen to your lawyer. I’ll give you a moment”. It only got way worse. The guy then went on to interrupt the judge and said, “I’ll finish my story and then I’m DONE here”!
Usually, if you interrupt a judge or take a bad attitude toward him, the judge will shut you down. However, in this case, the judge kind of smiled, sat back, and said, “OK then, go right ahead”. At that instant, everyone in the courtroom knew the guy was toast.
