More courtroom porn for the lawyers.  Mike Brown trial.  Here is Chancellor (Ret.) Stuart Robinson's testimony.  He gets real tough on Mr. Brown several times.  Mr. Brown's cross-examination begins at 5:00.  Mr. Brown tries to fabricate a conversation in his office but the judge has none of it (6:00).  Judge Robinson's disgust is evident throughout this portion of the testimony.  Mr. Brown then moves to dismiss the case at 22:40.  If you want to see the mind of a nut on display, here it is.  Changes his story throughout his argument for dismissal (23:00).

Several judges sat in the audience, shaking their heads as Mr. Brown made his case to Judge Emfinger.  The District Attorney and I both bent over as we tried to hide our faces as we both almost laughed out loud the more ludicrous the argument became.  The chief prosecutor swiveled around in his chair so the court could not seem almost laugh as well.  The jury was absent during this part of the trial. In a nutshell, Mr. Brown tried to argue no check was deposited into his escrow account. Never mind he wrote checks out of the guardianship account. Never mind he bought cars with the funds or he wrote 75 checks without the court's consent. A bank statement from one month was never found so Mr. Brown argues the lack of such a statement exonerated him.  Ooooook.

What was also funny was how he spent so much time with several witnesses discussing the loaning of $595,000 to Linus Shackelford. Funny because minors can't loan money and funny because there was no court approval for the loans.  Thus he spent nearly a whole day in court outlining transactions that were patently illegal. Should've stayed off of that but that is why he is now in jail.
