Order in the court


We here in the US have our share of bizarre court cases, but I have to say that the Brits pretty much wipe the floor with, well, everyone when it comes to over-the-top, premier-league weird. Viz:


I mean, in most places a [male] lawyer apprehended in a G-string and fishnet stockings, in a random woman’s bedroom while loaded would be enough to make the evening news. But in Southwark (London), no, no, no—guy’s got to get off by claiming he thought the woman was a panda.

As one does.

I mean, the clipping doesn't say whether the defendant got done on the breaking and entering or drugs charges, just that he avoided the stigma of having a conviction for a sexual offense.

Small mercies, eh?.
