Mistrial after defendant smears feces on lawyer

(01-28) 06:25 PST SAN DIEGO (AP) --
A San Diego judge has declared a mistrial in a kidnapping and assault case after the defendant smeared excrement on his lawyer's face and threw it at jurors.

The judge boosted defendant Weusi McGowan's bail from $250,000 to $1 million after the Monday incident.

Prosecutor Christopher Lawson says McGowan was upset because the judge refused to remove public defender Jeffrey Martin from the case.
McGowan had smuggled a bag of feces into court and spread it on Martin's hair and face before flinging the excrement at jurors. No jurors were hit.
McGowan has pleaded not guilty to kidnapping for robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and other counts in connection with a 2007 home invasion.

He must have thought his Public Defender was shit-faced.

That's one expensive bag of feces, and that's the straight poop.

I wonder if he'll end up getting the shit-end of the stick....

I think he was hoping for a dung jury.

I am so sick of these hotshot criminals acting like their shit doesn't stink.

"In light of the feces in my hair, my client would like to plead guilty to all charges!"

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

So much for being a shit-hot lawyer...

My client may not be of high moral fiber, but...

If bringing a bag of shit to court and smearing it on my lawyer is wrong...
