No word if it was hardwood mulch….
They have served sixty-nine days.
Just sayin’ - you can tie up two cases with one deal.

Re: You can't make this stuff up!
I'm setting cases today. Dude just came in for a dog running at large. He said, "I'm not guilty. The dog is at work." When the judge said he was going to set it for a later date, he asked, "Should I bring the dog?"

Just getting caught up. Seriously, you should write a book.

Direct: “Who’s a good witness? Yeah, who’s a good witness?”
Cross: “is t it true that Mr. defendant gives you treats when he is happy with you? Do you expect this jury to believe you are barking the truth?”
(Meanwhile, the bailiff hears: “What? Little Jimmy fell down the well? Take me to her, girl!”)

Re: You can't make this stuff up!
I had a case that involved storm water runoff, and the plaintiff claimed to have a dog that was trained to detect excessive levels of fecal coliform in the storm water. Or as we called it, “her shit-sniffing dog.”ArkieDukie wrote: ↑July 25th, 2024, 9:29 amThanks for the much needed laugh!

Plaintiffs wanted to introduce evidence of the handler’s interpretation of dog’s “detection” of waste. I moved in limine to exclude it on the grounds of hearsay (an out of court statement by a different witness offered to prove the truth of the statement, without the ability to cross-examine the declarant — in this case, the dog).
We actually argued the motion, but the court granted me judgment on the whole case before ruling on the motion. I’ve been meaning to ask the judge his thoughts on the matter, but I am concerned that he might not be as amused as I was about it.

It is possible that Pebbles the Aussie Shepherd could have been at work. I am going to line up my friend Sally, who literally judges sheep herding, if I need an expert witness.

I’ve been in Varnish County 27 years and 7 months today. Totally agree.

Re: You can't make this stuff up!
Circuit Court Judge: "Sir, you are charged with DWI, and you want to set your case for trial, is that correct?"
Defendant: "No, I'm charged with DUI, not DWI."
Judge: "What's the difference?"
Defendant: "Oh."
Defendant: "No, I'm charged with DUI, not DWI."
Judge: "What's the difference?"
Defendant: "Oh."

Re: You can't make this stuff up!
I was looking for another post, and I found this one.lawgrad91 wrote: ↑April 6th, 2018, 9:26 amIt was a full moon in the Varnish Zone yesterday.
The defense attorney chair (they sit in the chair closest to the court; defendants sometimes lose control in the other chair, so the bailiffs don't let attorneys sit in that one, unless they are mad at a given lawyer) snapped off yesterday when one of the elder statesmen of the county bar leaned back in it.
It's past time to buy new chairs. Those things were original to the courthouse.
The county replaced the chairs LAST WEEK. I guess they decided the chairs just wouldn't make it to 28.

Re: You can't make this stuff up!
(In keeping with the chair motif...)
Ellie May the office manager had the local office supply place make a service call to the office this morning.
Apparently there was a screw loose in a secretary's chair and such difficult repairs are best left to the experts.
