Video: How not to talk to the judge during sentencing

Via Bill Amos, a symphonie du bleep for lazy Friday afternoon. Interesting case here, actually. The charge was battery stemming from the defendant having spit in the eye of a sheriff’s deputy.

He was already in jail for robbery, which doubtless factored in.
