Brilliant!

 

Have you seen "the castle" - excellent Aussie film about fundamental constitutional law principles. Great courtroom drama!

 

Priceless. When you have it in you to tell His Honour to get stuffed about a hundred times, only then are you truly free. Stone walls do not a prison make...

 

Agree. "I'll fuckin' disturb and I'll run amok" is poetry.

 

Get stuffed lard-arse!

God I feel so free.

I think the defendant had a legitimate complaint, as he appears to have been represented by the MacKenzie brothers.

 

Hilarious! Thanks much for posting this.

 

I love how the judge claims to have been called worse on the rugby pitch. You have GOT to say something like that if you've just allowed the guy in the dock to call you the C-word.

I think the defendant should be sentenced to a TV prison reality show.

 

I can't imagine that exchange at the Old Bailey without someone being imprisoned for contempt of court. Having served on a jury there for a month, I witnessed a defence barrister being bollocked by the Common Sergeant and that kept him quiet for an hour or two.

 

anyone know what happened to the defendant?

 

Buried in an unmarked grave.

 

I've never heard of a rant like that going very long in a US court. Priceless. Was it taped and now on youtube?

 

THAT would be contempt. We don't allow that in Australia. No outside/media/public cameras

 

Joizey too. Especially on the AC Expressway on a Friday night.

Better than Al Pacino's rant in "And Justice For All".
