“You see, I was walking Bessie along the

road with a rope when all of sudden

swoooosh, around the corner come this truck

speeding.

“He knock Bessie and me off the road into

a ditch. The truck driver he get out and

come back and look down at Bessie and

see that she is a goner for sure. “So, he pull

out his gun and he shoot Bessie!

Then he come back to me, his gun still

smoking and say to me, “Are YOU hurt?”

This is a good example of the nature of some things

as they occur — first outside, and then inside the

courtroom.

You’re never quite sure how much you hear in the

courtroom is fact, and how much is fantasy or fiction.

I once had a judge take myself, and opposing

counsel back into his chambers for a recess.
