A man on trial left the courtroom stunned when he answered serious legal questions using only street slang, apparently not realizing the seriousness of the situation.
As the judge asked him to clarify his statements, he responded with casual phrases and slang words that made little sense in a formal courtroom setting. The lawyer handling his case looked equally baffled, repeatedly asking him to “speak clearly” so his answers could be recorded.
Witnesses say the judge grew visibly frustrated, warning the defendant that his behavior wasn’t helping his case. “This is a court of law — not the place for jokes or slang,” the judge reportedly said.
Clips of the exchange have gone viral online, with people divided between finding it funny and criticizing the man for treating such a serious situation so lightly.
