CHARLES M. SEVILLA

Disorder in the Court

In America's courtooms, the verdict is laughter.

Sit back and enjoy a collection of verbatim exchanges from the halls of justice, where defendants and plaintiffs, lawyers and witnesses, juries and judges, collide to produce memorably insane comedy.

The Court: "The charge here is theft of frozen chickens. Are you the defendant, sir?"

Defendant: "No, sir, I'm the guy who stole the chickens."
