Hopefully, he has a good temperament and sense of humor. The last thing friends would want to do is persistently annoy him until he is all fired up. Deservedly or not, from this day forward he will be referred to as a hotshot attorney.

The dummy probably forgot to turn his device off so it wouldn't fire in his pocket.

No doubt his buddies will crack all sorts of lame jokes on his behalf!

"Hey, Hot Pants! I hear you got shot down in flames? Some dishonest people get their fingers burnt, but you took it a stage further! Just lighten up ok!" etc etc

Was he engaging in false testimony? Wouldn't that be something, if karma settled in on us and with every lie, misrepresentation and half-truth, our clothes would start burning. The Emperor really would have no clothes.

It was just on TV the defendant was found guilty and even with the burnt pants the lawyer lost the case.

The case had become a bore
Some even started to snore
Then they all got excited
when the shyster ignited
and watched him run out the door.

Years ago I was standing in line at a grocery checkout. Suddenly the guy in front of me whips his hand out of the pocket of his jeans as a whoosh of smoke and flames pour out of it. He'd been fishing for change, and there were a pair of matchbooks in the pocket. A match from one scraped along the strike-pad of the other book, and it flared - and then both books went up.

The guy needed a new pair of jeans, whoever he was. And I'm guessing he had an unpleasant burn on his upper-front thigh.

Back to this case...

As for those babbling on about 'karma', whatever. Every last individual who is convicted, whether he did it or not, I want to see him represented by a defense counsel that gives a vigorous, full-throated defense. I actually believe in the constitutional guarantee of due process.
