20 Times People Screwed Themselves Over in Court
‘The witness corrected him and told him which bottle was the real poison’
If you’re going to commit a crime, it’s important that you don’t bring evidence to court. A Redditor remembered the time a man went to court to dispute a burglary charge — wearing exactly what he was wearing when he was caught on camera the night of the crime.
Another Redditor had a similar story — he represented a man who was accused of stealing three trucks from work. Two of the vehicles were recovered before trial, and the third was also recovered… when the man drove it to a motion hearing. It’s like they watched a documentary about the world’s dumbest criminals and said, “Hold my beer.”
Other Redditors have shared the times they watched someone screw themselves over in court, including one guy who showed up naked.
