Some Prosecutors Have All the Fun

[livius drusus]

Dominatrix Acquitted in Bondage Death. Seems a fair enough verdict to me, what with the total lack of evidence and all, but that's not even the stand-out part of this story.

How do we get Sam Waterston to do this for his next ripped from the headlines performance?

During his closing argument to the jury, prosecutor Robert Nelson put on a black leather mask with a zippered mouth opening and re-enacted the bondage session. With both hands, he reached back and clutched the top of a blackboard as if strapped to the rack. Then he hung his head as if dead.

Asher's lawyer objected, and the judge agreed.

"That's enough Mr. Nelson," Judge Charles Grabau said. "Thank you for your demonstration."
