When the judge knows your habits…
I was in court this morning, waiting for OC to finish his arguments and trying to quietly explain to the client standing next to me that it was NOT the time to speak up. Naturally the client ignores me and starts trying to say incriminating shit on the record, at which point the judge cuts him off with, “Mr. (Client), I’ve known your attorney for a long time now. Normally when she stops talking, it’s because she thinks she’s winning.” Which is TRUE (and normally intentional) but also oh my god. I didn’t think it was that noticeable lmao. I immediately felt seen, not in a good way, not in a bad way, but seen nonetheless 😂
(It did shut my client up long enough for OC to wrap up and the judge to rule in our favor, though.)
Anyone else been harmlessly called out in court, but called out nonetheless?
