Lawyers of Reddit Share Funny, Outrageous Moments They Witnessed on the Job

My cousin was in court to determine how much time in jail he was going to get. Prosecution wanted 1 year, judge suggested 2 years with a year of probation. My cousin, being the genius that he is, piped up from the bench and said, “Well, if you’re gonna give me two, you might as well give me three.” Case closed.

Why my cousin decided to do such a thing will forever puzzle me and everyone else in our family. There are times in life where being a smart-aleck wont pay off and this was definitely one of those times.
