God in the courtroom – sort of
Mar 15th
In the sad, but funny news item of the day, a CT PD’s motion for competency evaluation was denied. Judge Carroll ruled that the robbery suspect’s religious beliefs don’t require a competency evaluation. Fair enough.
The problem, however, is that the man believes God is in the courtroom talking to him and "will be standing beside him in the courtroom when he faces trial, and will arrange for his acquittal."
The PD says that this interferes with his ability to assist his client. I might be inclined to agree with that.
Sniffing out subpoenas
Mar 9th
Talk about barking up the wrong tree. Prosecutors in Arkansas subpoenaed a defendant’s dog in the defendant’s murder trial. Apparently, the man had written a letter to the dog. Prosecutor Robin Green said that the dog was friendly enough and probably would have been a very cooperative witness.
It is as yet unclear who is dumber: the prosecutor, the defendant or the dog for actually answering a subpoena sent to a dog.
