I Had Something Odd Happen Today
« on: June 23, 2011, 01:57:52 PM »
As some of you know, I am a District Judge and hear primarily criminal cases.  Today I was sentencing a Defendant to probation in a case.  He was being released from custody today.  He was predominantly bald and had a couple days growth on his head and face.

At the end of the court proceeding, I usually ask a defendant if he/she has any questions.  This gentleman said he did but said he wanted to talk off the record.  Once the reporter turned off her recorder, the Defendant looked at me and said, " I want to know how you get your head so smooth?  What do you use to shave?"  Everyone in the courtroom laughed.  He said, "I am serious, I want my head to look that good!!!"

I told him I used HB and told him to check out this website.  I guess that just shows you never know when you might influence someone to go sly.  Power to the SLY brotherhood!!!!!!   O0 O0 O0

That's an awesome story!
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

A former offender sent into the world wiser and potentially more attractive to employers all due to "the creative discretion of the artist judge!"  The quoted phrase is not mine but one used by one my  professors in law school--thought it needed to be applied to the reported case ;).

That just plain rocks.
One definition of "surrender" is, "To join the winning side."

The long arm of the law reaches out and does what it's supposed to do, make people better for its presence.
