Judge puts foot down after lame excuse
Houston Chronicle, Apr 15, 1992
In a building where lame excuses are commonplace, Assistant District Attorney Johnny Sutton came up with a particularly unimpressive explanation of his tardiness in court this week.
""It's hard to get up in the morning,'' he told state District Judge Ted Poe.
""You think this is Holiday Inn?'' Poe demanded. ""You want a wake-up call?''
Poe held Sutton in contempt of court for being 15 minutes late. But instead of being jailed, Sutton was ordered to sit in the audience.
He spent Tuesday seated among 13 probationers, some of whose cases he prosecuted.
Re your post# 552......ROFLMAO!!!
I hope now Congressman Poe gets another shot at sutton in Congressional Hearings.
The more you learn about Poe the more you like him.
