That's entertainment

A Las Vegas judge declared a mistrial when the defense lawyer showed up drunk:
In an exchange recorded by courtroom video, Caramango arrived about 90 minutes late for trial, and can be heard slurring his words. The judge asked if something was wrong, and said she became suspicious when details of Caramango's accident account varied.

Caramango also identified a woman who accompanied him to court as his ex-girlfriend, and called her Christine. Questioned by the judge, the woman identified herself as Josephine and said she just met Caramango about 20 minutes earlier at a nearby bar and grill.
Perhaps he forgot to tip her, so she followed him into the courtroom.
