And you thought you were having a crappy day…

no_poop.jpgWe like the occasional poo-poo joke here at ATL, but we’re torn between amusement and disgust in the case of Cornell Tyler, 37, who is being tried for murder in Markham Courthouse in Illinois. His actions give new meaning to Freud’s anal-sadistic phase.

Tyler used sandwich bags from lunch to create excrement bombs on Thursday. He tried to use them on Circuit Judge Kathleen Panozzo, but her deputies took the hit. From the Chicago Tribune:

“The judge said, ‘Is your name Cornell Tyler?’ ” [Assistant State Atty. Ted] Lagerwall said. “He said, ‘My name is Self Destruction, but you can call me Smitty—well, I mean [expletive].’”

Tyler then quickly reached down the front of his pants and pulled out the baggie but the deputies beside him pounced on him.

“In that scuffle, he did throw the excrement toward the front of the courtroom,” Mateck said. “The judge was not injured, but unfortunately our deputies were … adversely affected.”

Poor deputies. The courtroom had to be cleared because it “stunk to high heavens.”

It seems likely that Tyler’s nickname will change from “Self Destruction” to “No More Fiber For Me.”

If I were plotting to throw baggies of dung at a judge, I don't think I would store them down the front of my pants.

Judge Halverson always enjoyed sacks of dung being flung at her. Sometimes just to show off she would open her mouth and devour the flying bags like a porpoise would fish.

I'm just saying.

This posting pretty much sums up what this site has turned into: excrement. Goodbye, ATL. When you come back with relevant postings about the legal market, clerkships that don't focus solely upon courts of appeals in an effort to skew in favor of Harvard, where entitlement and skill are inversely proportional, etc., let me know.

Guys at my cellblock used to create excrement bombs and throw them at the judge when on trial for murder all the time, it was no big deal, except that they then had to stand trial wearing restraints and an electric stun belt.

Gentlemen at my preparatory academy were, in their periodic moods, in the habit of obtaining the solid products of their digestion and hurling the same at unsuspecting federal officials who possessed their office by virtue of Article 3. The net result of these nefarious activities was that said federal official remained unscathed, but that the official's minions were adversely affected, in what could only considered by most neutral observers as a most unseemly fashion. Said circumstances were merely trifling and not worthy of undue circumspection.
