Funny things people have actually said in court

Court rooms are supposed to be a serious place, where experts and witnesses give evidence, lawyers present and argue facts and a jury of peers determine innocence or guilt. So it might come as a surprise that sometimes people say the strangest things.

These are supposedly things that were said during court in America and recorded in a book, Disorder in the Court. This book if filled with hundreds of funny things that have been said in court and recorded. We can’t believe some of them!
