A San Diego judge has declared a mistrial in a kidnapping and assault case after the defendant smeared excrement on his lawyer's face and threw it at jurors. [Sounds like the prosecutor got away clean.]


Details.

Oh, yeah, a mistrial will teach him not to do that again. Good call.

Looks like the State will have 12 new punishment witnesses for the retrial.

Oh, the perils of restoring order in Criminal District Court No. 2.

I wonder if they have a chunking offense or two, or three, etc, to stack on top!

I wonder if they can charge him with illegal dumping ?
