Yes this is about the YSL trial. With all of the hits coming out of this trial, we might not even need Barter 7. For those behind, the shenanigans include:
- Months spent just on jury selection
- Attorneys being ordered to buy people lunch
- $10 fines per cell phone ring
- The choice between homework assignments or jail
- An apparent in-court drug deal
- Assaulting an officer
And all that is just from the 4/20 article last year! Since then, lawyer getting in trouble has been a consistent theme — Nicole Fegan faced some legal trouble over giving a non-client advice and Fani Willis — the lead prosecutor on the case — has been all over the news. Today’s entertainment comes from a district attorney from her office, Adriane Love. Her shouting match with a judge is a good example of what not to do in court:
