Quick story!
- Relates to the Penguin Books/Lady Chatterley's Lover case...
In that case the lead prosecution counsel made an ass of himself and asked the jury (in all seriousness) - "Would you allow your manservant to read this book?"
Decades later, I happened to be defending an adult-related case (was kinda minor) and sitting chatting with defense counsel before the case started - when it turns out, - the same idiot who did the LCL prosecution had been promoted to a judge and he ended up the judge on our case - wonderful
Fortunately we won that case, but would hate to think of the sentence if the jury returned a guilty verdict - probably the death sentence
I could see the judge sure did not "approve", but was so... well, funny.. the jury also got the joke and returned a good verdict.
