JUDGES REALLY HATE TO BE LIED TO

by Bob Walsh

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.
