Klydon,
I can imagine that would be quite a shocker. I guess it happens more often than we might think.
Speaking of courts, jurors, etc. A couple years ago I was on a jury. I take being a juror very seriously and listen to everything everyone says, etc.
They called a doctor to the stand as a medical expert right? Well, this doctor stuttered something terrible. I felt sorry for him, but it took freakin' forever for him to tesitify. I don't know if it was the silence of the courtroom, or the seriousness of where I was, hearing a case, but halfway through this doctor's testimony I had to fight back laughter. Why would I do that?
I kept thinking to myself, "why do you want to laugh at this man" and "what if you bust up and the judge kicks you out, how damn embarrassing would that be?"
They more I told myself don't laugh, the harder I had to fight back laughter. This is something I wouldn't normally do. Am I a bad person?
