Told to me by my mother, a District Court judge. She couldn't stop laughing when she was telling me about it. And I guess this would be considered her type of "customer," since those are the people she deals with everyday.
So a guy is charged with disorderly conduct and resisting a public officer because he wandered into the courthouse for seemingly no reason, started raising hell and trying to fight the police when they were trying to escort him out (they checked--his name was not on any of the dockets, so there's no telling why he was there, they couldn't get a reason out of him.) So a couple days after, for his first court date, as he's walking through the metal detector he drops something wrapped in napkins. They showed the surveillence video in court: no napkin covered thing on the floor one minute, but as he walks by it appears.
They unwrap it. It's a severed chicken leg. Not like "I went to KFC and got some fried chicken legs," like, "I'm freakin' nuts and I cut off a chicken's leg to take to the courthouse with me."
As they're showing the video? The guy stands up and starts trying to put a voodoo curse on everyone in the courtroom. I'm not sure exactly what he said, but apparently it backfired; he's in jail now.
