LTSome guys will do anything to delay trial
James Orr put an immediate halt to his criminal trial Wednesday when he squeezed the contents of his colostomy bag onto the table in front of him and ate it.
"There was what appeared to be feces on the table and on the floor," assistant Hamilton County prosecutor David Prem said.
Prem was prosecuting Orr, 66, for robbery and kidnapping. The trial, without a jury before Common Pleas Court Judge Ethna Cooper, began last week but continued today.
A witness had just taken the stand in the case Wednesday when Norm Aubin, Orr's attorney, said Orr leaned into him and asked if Aubin had anything to eat.
A shocked Aubin said he didn't. Orr then said he was hungry and asked for food. Aubin ignored him.
That's when Orr made a spectacle of taking his colostomy bag, worn on the outside of his body to collect his waste, and placing it on the table. He then squeezed it and looked to be eating it.

JBSo, if he was really eating it, he gets points for creativity. If he was only pretending to eat it, the trial should have gone on.

JohnRAdmittedly, the fake heart attack has become more problematic now that there are defibrillators in courthouses. "Wait, wait, don't shock me, I'm just trying to get out of trial . . . . ZAP!"
Nevertheless, it is a battle-tested classic.
