That public defender will absolutely be laughing about this as well, don’t you worry.

“Why are we even still holding Zoom court sessions these days?”

As an attorney doing these regularly, the answer is that it’s spectacularly more efficient for all involved on any number of levels, and is an extremely good thing to do, especially for a branch of government. Zoom meetings are absolutely an appropriate…

As an attorney who has been making 95% of his appearances via Zoom/Teams (except for trials and major motion arguments that will take a long time and/or require a review of exhibits) I can tell you that this is infinitely better for everyone involved, including the clients.

I hadn’t considered the possibility that he’d had plenty of practice with this sort of thing, but you’re almost certainly right haha

Speaking of next-level dumb...

The sad thing is, this is probably just another day for this judge. Probably happened twice yesterday and will happen again tomorrow.

For this sort of thing, it is MUCH more efficient than gathering a crowd of people into a building somewhere while they wait for their 5 minutes in front of a judge. They do many dozens of cases a day.

I can understand it in certain circumstances, like traffic court. Some people are at a disadvantage when it comes to transportation, childcare, or low-wage jobs with strict attendance policies. Being able to appear by Zoom for only a few minutes and removing the time-suck of getting to the courthouse, finding the…

lol right, had I been the judge the first words out of my mouth would have been, “Tha Fuck” but being the judge and defendant are both black I am surprised the judge didn’t just blurt out “N word is you stupid!!” That’s some next level dumb on the defendant’s part, right up there with that, I think, rapper passing off…

Easiest case to prosecute? Literally phoning it in. :-D  Except it was the *defendant* phoning in the prosecution’s best evidence!

Nope, if I don’t have to be in court I’m going. Especially some conveyor belt court room like traffic court. In most cases, the best thing you can do in court is shut up and let your lawyer talk, anyways. Everyone there is being paid to be there, no one in that court room is donating their time. 

All the government workers didn’t take time out of their day to show up, it IS their job to show up every day.

Someone needs to slap a Daytime Emmy on that judge, because he kept his composure in a way that I never in a million years could when presented with a dude, who couldn’t be bothered to be in court, who Zooms into his hearing about his suspended license, from behind the wheel of his own car.

I think the prosecution in this case is priceless. Holding your hand over your face to keep from laughing out loud is awesome. You KNOW she is taking this to friends and family for years.  “OK, you will not BELIEVE that this actually happened to me at work - one of the easiest cases I have ever had to prosecute. …

The look on the judge’s face when he sees the guy driving, as if to say, “Wait, is the thing that appears to be happening actually happening?” is funny as all get out.

The look of absolute bemusement on the judge’s face coupled with the slowly dawning look of understanding on the dumbass’s face, together, are simply...

I can only imagine that a RyanAir F/A has literally seen it all by the end of their first month of service. 

I’m from the UK, so I’ve seen a lot. We’re worse than Florida when it comes to cheap flights to Spain.

100% people walking around barefoot on the flight and even going to the bathroom barefoot.

The most disgusting thing I’ve seen has been the entitlement. If you know you won’t fit in the seat you need to plan ahead.
