I was in court one time several years ago, and there was a guy being sentenced for Public Intoxication or DUI,something like that..Well his lawyer went on for several minutes about how his client made a mistake, and that he had never been in trouble before and deserved a break. He really beat that to death ( never been in trouble) Well after he was finished, the Judge asked the Prosecutor if she had any further questions for the defendant.
She said yes your honor..and then
"Mr. Smith..is it not true that you were arrested in 1984 for possession of cocaine?"
the defendant said "Yes " ,,His lawyer looked like he was going to barf. :lol: I guess the guy lied to his lawyer and he never checked.
