Laughing Judge
Drug-possession defendant Christopher Johns, on trial in March in Pontiac, Michigan, said he had been searched
without a warrant.
The prosecutor said the officer didn't need a warrant because a "bulge" in Christopher's jacket could have been a gun. Nonsense, said Christopher, who happened to be wearing the same jacket that day in
court.
He handed it over so the judge could see it.
The judge discovered a packet of cocaine in the pocket and laughed so hard he required a five-minute recess to compose himself.
