Judge Denies Motions Because He's Having Sex With The Prosecutor (Or Because The Motions Are Nonsense... One Or The Other)

It’s always difficult as a pro se defendant to figure out if your handwritten motions are losing because the judge is secretly working with the Klan to keep you down or if it’s because you’re babbling nonsense about maritime court.

This guy decided to take his objections up directly with the judge and it… went poorly.

If you watch just one twitter video today, make it this one, if only for the reaction of Brice Rhodes' attorney after he suggests the judge is having sex with the prosecutor. And then accuses judge of being in KKK. pic.twitter.com/k0Saf2kEwa

Is this funny? Obviously. Is it also sad? Yeah.

Often, pro se defendants are left to flounder making procedural errors that could be easily remedied if they had resources available to them. In this case, he’s lucky enough to have that very embarrassed attorney next to him that he’s not listening to. But many more defendants have nothing and when people offer the slightest of helping hands they risk getting fired for their trouble. So don’t forget that sometimes the tomfoolery we see is really our fault as lawyers for leaving people adrift.

But I’m not convinced the judge was really sleeping with the prosecutor here.
