Well, Maybe Mr. T Hacked The Court System And Created A Mohawk Law! Maybe Mr. T’s Pretty Handy With The Law!

Humor, Law

Speaking of juror distractions, I cannot fathom what judge would not have arranged, no, demanded, that Mr. T sit on his jury.  If a lawyer attempted to remove Mr. T, it would be worth the appellate reversal to overrule the lawyer, as a pitiable fool, just to say that you’d tried a case with Mr. T.

Lawyers come and go.  Judges come and go.  Cases come and go.  Even clients come and go.  The opportunity to try a case with a jury consisting of Mr. T and 11 random fools, that comes but once a lifetime.

    If he were on your jury, the temptation to pander to him would be irresistible. “Objection, Your Honor! Jibber-jabber!”

    I want Mr. T to be the Henry Fonda-esque holdout in a room full of eleven angry men, all of whom want nothing more than to let a fool go unpitied. Lee J. Cobb screaming in Mr. T’s face that the accused “ain’t so bad! He ain’t so bad!”

    I liked our friend TJIC’s take on the movie: Eleven Angry Men, and One Even Angrier Man.
