Lawrence Knox, 36, was in court earlier this month in Franklin County, Ohio. Among other things he swore at the time that he was indigent. He had copped a plea to a drug charge and was taken away for processing for a six-year prison sentence. Deputies found he had over $4k in cash on him at that time. They told the judge. The judge was not amused. Neither was his lawyer as Know shorted him as well.
The judge fined Know $20,000. Half of the $4k went to the lawyer to cover his fee, the rest went against the $20,000 (plus court costs).
Telling lies, especially STUPID lies, to a judge is not a good move.
