Great lawyers sometimes come in small packages
Posted in Legal news on February 5th, 2012 by adminInsult a prosecutor at your peril
Courtrooms are not known, whether in the UK or worldwide for being venues for hysterical laughter, nor, in many jurisdictions, is there a significant representation of disabled advocates, so a story where these 2 elements overlapped was always likely to be picked up by the worldwide press.
The story revolves around a situation where a well known and highly respected female prosecutor, who also happens to be a dwarf, called a witness in a case. Unfortunately, the witness became overcome with hysteria in court to the point where he started repeatedly singing songs from Snow White and the seven dwarfs.
Not only was the prosecutor’s case jeopardised but not surprisingly, she too great offence at the insults. In this case, the witness picked on the wrong opponent, the prosecutor in question may be diminutive in size but is known as being a very formidable lawyer and is planning to personally sue the witness.
