Things to do to piss of the judge in your case.
1) Show up late
2) Smart mouth about media
3) Show up late!!
Jeez, this guy is a complete doofus.

Judge is a former Marine.![](http://www.arar93.dsl.pipex.com/mds975/Images/homer_simpson_doh_02.gif)
You know you're in trouble when the judge and your opponent start shouting "Ooo-rah" at each other.

posted by Grimmy on Blackfive:
The update: At 1400 hours the defendant showed up, and was told that he was half an hour late. The Judge stated on the record that the defendant had done the same thing during the previous court date, and he said that the defendant called and said that wanted to wait for the media to leave. The Judge said "That is not the way I run my courtroom." He increased the bail and took him into custody and told him to try and work out a deal with the State. About 25-35 marines and assorted military were there.
The case was recalled at 14:22, and the State said that the defendant had asked for permission to put his belt and such back on. The Judge said, "Treat him like all the other prisoners." The defendant was brought out and the plea deal that they had worked out was entered into the record.
The Judge asked him if he had committed the specific acts he was accused of. The defendant hemmed and hawed, and the Judge raised his voice to make him say yes or no. The defendant agreed, and the Judge read the facts into the record. Several times, the Judge said if there were no deal, he would be given a court date just like any other defendant, and he could try and make bail soon.
The deal: 1 year Social Service Supervision, restitution of 600 dollars to be paid to Social Services and which would go to the Injured Marine Semper Fi fund, to be paid by February 25th, 2008, and $50/month in supervision fees.
The Judge then, in as angry a voice as I have ever heard him use, scolded the defendant, saying that the Marine license plates the complaining witness had were not vanity plates or about ego, but the proceeds go toward the Marine and Navy scholarship fund for the children of fallen soldiers, sailors and marines. These Marines protect his very existence "so people like you can enjoy their freedom." He further said that the reason there were so many in the courtroom and so much public interest is that the Marines have a tradition since 1775 that "No Marine gets left behind." Several Hoorahs in the courtroom.
And then the deal was done, and he was taken away by the sheriffs to be released later.

The Judge said in open court that if he does shows up he will be taken into custody, and if he doesn't he is fair game for any law enforcement agency that wants to pick him up. Good! I am glad to see a judge who shows some sense.

In case you didn't read the link, it turns out the judge in the case is a former marine. He lectured Grodner on the history of the Corps before sentencing.
As the man says: HEH.

Looks like a Vietnam re-match, the Marine versus the VC sympathizer. I’m betting on the Marine.

I really like this turn of events. A fellow Marine as a judge will not play games here, especially if the other Marine is - as I understand - currently deployed in a theatre of war.

That $20,000 warrant sworn out on him oughtta get every LEO department looking for a payday. That's reward money for capture. Probably even enough money to get a detective interested in him. Certainly some skip tracers and licensed bounty hunters are interested in a quick 20 grand and the agreeable media exposure that would come along with it.
There are some pretty scary dudes who sit around courthouses eagerly awaiting high dollar bench warrants to be sworn out by judges. That's how some honest tough guys with no skills in life aside from ass-kicking put food on the table.
Cash-strapped departments that can't afford overtime would like to get that dough. If the defendant hasn't already shown up to turn himself in, he's not going to.

I read elsewhere he did $2,400 damage to the car. Can we presume he;ll be seeing the Marine in Small Claims Court?
