This kind of stuff doesn't work in American courts. Believe me, I tried it once or twice while being interrogated (yes, Interrogated!) as a potential juror. The judge right away threatened me with a stiffer sentence than I suspect the defendants on those cases eventually received. A humourless country, I tell ya!

That may be true, but something tells me the judge's sympathies were for the defendant in this case. That may explain the leniency.
