I can't believe we haven't updated what constitutes a grand theft or felony case to reflect the costs and inflation of things nowadays. An 18 year old can steel a phone and have a felony record for life. That just seems crazy.

Eh? Why would you think that theft of a phone costing hundreds of dollarpounds should be considered a minor offence?

Previously, Bored Panda spoke with the creator of the Overheard Courthouse Instagram account who said that it all started with @attorney.memes in 2018.
“While I was growing that account, I decided to start an account similar to the likes of @overheardla and @overheardnewyork that would detail all the unusual things that are heard in courtrooms,” the creator told us.
At first, the page was posting transcripts of trials collected from various websites they found online. But when the account grew in popularity, the followers began sending them transcripts from their own depositions/trials and unusual statements that they had personally heard. “So the account started to form its own identity,” the creator recounted.

I run at large every time I go grocery shopping. I can't be out of my introvert den for very long.
The person who runs Overheard Courthouse argues that the reason why courtrooms are the perfect place for hilarious conversations is that there is the clash between the etiquette that’s required in a courtroom vs. life outside the courtroom.
Moreover, according to the creator, “Many people outside of the justice system aren’t aware that there’s a certain demeanor expected while in the presence of the court that differs from today’s social norms which tend to be more informal.” When you put someone who’s not familiar with the etiquette that is expected in a courtroom, it makes for some hilarious moments.

The creator explained further: “These individuals are usually known in the U.S. justice system as being 'pro se' or 'pro per' depending on the jurisdiction. The submissions involving pro pers are some of the funniest ones because not only do you have someone who may not be familiar with courtroom etiquette, but they’re placing themselves in a position where they’re not trained or experienced to handle their case and all the complexities and nuances that may come with it, which leads to some hilarious moments,” they told us in a previous interview.

This reminds me of a story my mother told me. She always had trouble with sinus congestion and way back when doctors would use cocaine to treat it. So my mother asked her doctor for a dose at the office (by that time they were not handing out prescriptions to take home anymore). The doctor complied but then told my mother not to ask again. This puzzled my mother because she was so innocent that she did not realize that people could get high off of the stuff. This was before illegal drugs were a huge problem in the US.

This is, actually, a good statement by the defendant. Yes, 12 months is a year, but there is a difference in perception. Imagine for a moment the attorney said 8760 hours. Technically it also is a year, but gives a notion of "yeah, i counted every single one of them". "More like a year" here not only states the time, but also the scale. We are not counting months, hours or weeks any more, we are counting years.

My version, dad invites the people he is planning to rob and kill to his house for dinner, he serves the salmon he caught himself. The son sits in his car waiting for a signal from his father, he is both a piano teacher and tuner so has a legitimate reason for having piano wire on his person, he sneaks into the house via a side door and creeps up behind the victim and strangles them using the piano wire. Both men then take the body to the nearby cliffs and throw then into the ocean.

That actually sounds better in his favor. At least it wouldn't have been a planned interference with the court appearance.

This happens all the time actually. Cases go longer than they're supposed to, and Stenographers have other commitments. In this example, if they don't pick up their dog on time, most likely the dog will have to stay there overnight, which the facility may not have room for it. I can almost guarantee they communicated before the proceedings began that they had a hard end time. Picking up children and medical appointments are other common hard outs.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she proved to be unfit to parent, which is a shame! I pray she had a wake up call after that!

Scripture also says that we are to submit to the governing authorities, provided that their commands do not violate the Word of God. I suppose I’ll give him credit for trying… !

The only reasonable possibility for this claim being true would be let the client choke someone in self-defense or was defending someone who was truly helpless.

Am I missing something? Like the arrogance or delusion he's using to convince himself that he's the victim...

It could be that he argues self defense. But probably isn't.

Nothing wrong with that. There should be no shame in those kinds of things. I, myself, have written some to acclaim, and others have published on Amazon and made a fair bit of money. I'd appreciate if we didn't shame people for these sorts of things or make it out to be some taboo guff.

Glad that you do that if you like it I personally would never read stuff like that but I know a friend that might if you tell where I can order it

I figure there must’ve been some kind of emergency for this to happen and for the prosecutor to reply like that! I hope the prosecutor conducted himself or herself properly after that!

Hmm, sounds like they could potentially be off to a very bad start today. 🤔

No they don't. This judge is a cretin. It's illegal to park on double yellow lines, but is it immoral? It's immoral to commit adultery, but is it illegal?

You gotta wonder how many lawyers and judges buy their degrees, seriously.

Judge did say "USUALLY" and yes, usually they do go hand-in-hand. If u feel wrong doing it... maybe don't do it. Cretin? Really?

I was in traffic court once for a speeding ticket. The guy who went before the judge before me had been ticketed for driving without proof of insurance. In my state, if you can prove you did in fact have insurance at the time, the ticket is dismissed. The defendant handed the judge an insurance card. The judge didn't accept it because 1)it wasn't in the defendant's name 2)it wasn't for the car he was driving and 3)the policy start date was after his ticket date. His response when questioned about those things? "I didn't think you'd actually look at it"

Laughed so much at some of those... They should make a book of funny things said in court. Could even make chapters with the context of charges or the people involved xD xD

Went to traffic school when I was a teenager. Everyone had to stand up and say why the court required them to take the class. A young woman said she got a speeding ticket 65 in a 45. The instructor said that usually doesn't result in traffic school. Oh, she said, she meant to say 65 OVER in a 45!

Went with my friend to traffic court. Judge offered to defer the ticket, meaning she'd have to pay the full amount, but it wouldn't go on her driving record if she didn't get another ticket in the following 12 months. The other option was to pay half the ticket and it would go on her record. She picked option two. When the judge asked why, she just shrugged and said, "I know myself, and in less than 12 months, you'll know me pretty well too." But they pretty much offer that deal to everyone where I was living then. Another friend told the judge, when asked if she had a reason for speeding or anything to say on her own behalf, "No, I just like to go fast." The judge cracked up then cut her ticket in half anyway. Yes, this was some white ppl sh** which is why my black a** went along for entertainment.

I was once in the court public area supporting a friend who was on a pretty serious but bogus charge. He was acquitted, and the quality of the witnesses can be summed up in two examples The first was that the two main prosecution witnesses, a married couple, gave completely contradictory stories, both claiming to be the one who opened their front door when my friend was supposed to have been trying to kick it down (despite him having a broken ankle at the time, his leg in plaster and on crutches); giving completely different times as to when the supposed event took place - over half-an-hour difference; and both claiming to have rang the police while he was supposed to have been at the door (police records showing that the call had been made some two hours after the later time claimed by the witnesses, among many others. But the real beauty was an exchange between the prosecuting barrister and the female witness. ...cont

cont.... PB. Would you tell the court how Mr. X was acting when the door was first opened. FW. Well, he was shouting and swearing, Your Honour. PB. There's no need to call me 'Your Honour, I'm merely a barrister. Now, Mrs Y, what exactly did he say? FW. Well, Your Honour [even the judge had to quickly cover a smile at that one], I don't really like to say because I don't swear, but his language was f#cking disgusting! The case was dismissed shortly after on the judge's direction, citing unreliable and clearly dishonest witnesses.

I once received a subpoena to a small assault case because I was the only witness. It was supposed to be a group of 5 cases being heard. Besides the courtroom people, I was the only one who showed up. Not a single defendant showed up. They were all found guilty.
