9/24/05---Tales of the Courthouse---Volume 82

Okay, here's one that happened just the other day.  Absolute truth.

Guy comes in the courtroom for a plea hearing.  The charge against him is "stalking".
The state attorney immediately begins to tell the judge that they've had a little bit of a problem getting the victim to come in and testify, which they want in a case with this sort of charge.  So the judge, and here's where the great part comes in, asks the defendant what's going on with the case.

"Judge," the defendant begins, "I just want you to know that I'M the real victim here in this case.  I was only trying to help this woman and her son.  I tried to get her son to join the Boy Scouts.  I tried to be nice to the woman, and its all backfired on me."
"Well sir," the judge says, "according to this police report that I'm reading, it says here that you took a photo of your penis and mailed it to the victim."
"Judge, she said she wanted a nice picture of me."

You can't write that kind of material.....really you can't.

Later,
Jeff
