Have you ever been to court?

[Dizaster]

You know the old joke, what do you call a Canadian,Mexican,coloured etc person in a suit? The defendant...

How many people here have ever been the defendant for some reason or another??

I've been a couple of times.. Nothing serious.. But yeah

[Nameless]

ONly once. When my parents divorced, a very very ugly war actually. We received a letter from the usher stating that if we didn't present ourself to the court, the police was coming to get us wrist in handcuffs (no joke, and it was coming from my Mom's lawyer). Quite scary stuff when you're not guilty of nothing and are only 19, especially as my main concern at the time was the condition of my 16 years old brother. Finally everything went ok and we didn't have to testify because of something I wrote but I've been at war 1 full year with my mom because of that though (and now, realizing backward how much of a dickhead and of an egoistical maniac my father is, I regret I kind of helped him on that day). Oh well. Other than that I've never been there.

Nope. But by the time i was 12 I had been brought home by the police for all sortsa stuff. Assault. Theft. Drug posession. Out after cerfew. Long list.

I did testify in court once. Called the cops on a guy beating the shit out of his girlfriend. I had just turned 13 then. After testifying he called me a rat outside the court house and said I should watch my back. He was about 25 yrs old or so. I saw him not long ago. I'm about a ft taller now and 35-40 lbs heavier. He was polite and apologized for the threat back then.
