Courtroom Disruptions
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...A man is standing trial for the alleged murder of his wife. The presiding judge is reading the charges to the accused. The judge reads, “You are hereby accused of first degree murder for killing your wife by crushing her skull with a hammer…” Just then a male voice from among the courtroom spectators says, “Bloody bastard!”
The judge pauses to see who has said that and then he resumes, “How do you plead?” The accused says, “Not guilty, your honor.” Immediately the same voice says, “You no-good lying bloody bastard!”
The judge bangs the gavel screaming, “Order! Order in the court!” Pointing the gavel at the man who has made the outbursts, the judge says, “I know you feel revolted by the crime the accused has been charged with but there is no reason for you to disrupt this court with your outbursts. If you persist, I may charge you with contempt of court. Now, what seems to be the problem?”
The man steps forward and says, “Your honor, I have been a neighbor of that man for fifteen years. Whenever I try to borrow a hammer from him, he always tells me that he doesn’t have one!”
