Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
The public defender was on her game. She immediately asked for an adjournment, hoping the judge wouldn’t catch on.
The judge definitely caught on.
…hello?
Judge Cedric Simpson is one of the sharpest judges who regularly appear on Youtube. He doesn't appreciate being taken for a ride.
Nice.
And the first rule of court is “don’t piss off the judge.”
This is why.
The way she says "That is correct your honor" the second time while trying not to laugh is like the perfect encapsulation of what being public defender is like. Most people would not believe the sheer amount of stupidity witnessed by PDs, and sometimes you just gotta laugh. Still, they show up and go to bat for you, even if you're doing the thing they're defending you against at the time.
