I heard a story years ago that two guys were on trial for robbing a woman. When the woman was testifying on the stand, the prosecutor asked if the men who robbed her were present in the courtroom today. The two defendants raised their hands.

I also talked to a public defender once who said the highlight of his day was watching the string of guys, handcuffed to each other in a line, try to negotiate walking into the courtroom for arraignment and sitting down on a bench. Said it was like a Three Stooges routine every day.

I remember a Judge Judy episode in which the woman had her purse snatched. Judge Judy asked, “What was in your purse?”

The woman said, “$50, 2 credit cards, my driver’s license and … uhhh … a diamond bracelet.”

The defendant jumped up and said, “There was no diamond bracelet in that purse!”

Judge Judy said, “Okay. Your guilty.”

many, many years ago I was watching COPs Where an elderly lady had been accosted by two Hispanic boy. the cops made an arrest a few blocks away and brought the boys back for identification. Instead of asking the lady to identify the boys the cop asked the them if that was the lady they robbed. they both said, on camera, yes that’s her yeah her.
