It would have been a blast attending Sam's trial for the traffic ticket. Among other things he supposedly flashed wads of money in the courtroom,and told a girl in the front row that she should "go into the loan shark business,right here in traffic court.You would find that judges are your best customers".

He objected to questioning about his associates,screaming "I won't have the names of gangsters mentioned at my trial".
He demanded to cross examine the prosecutor,stating that "Joe Stalin might have sent him".
He also referred to himself as an "eminent attorney" who got his education at the state prison.

After ten days of the public packing the courtroom to watch Sam make a complete ass out of the judge,Sam was found not guilty of driving the wrong way on a one way street.

The general consensus is that the judge was one of Sam's juice customers,and as such had to endure the humiliation.
