From the files of I-Could-Not-Make-This-Up-If-I-Tried:
A criminal defendant in San Diego, CA, was unhappy with his court-appointed defense attorney. So, he decided to take matters into his own hands – fecal matters. On Monday, Weusi McGowan somehow managed to smuggle a bag of poo (yes, actual human excrement) into the courtroom, which he subsequently smeared all over the face and hair of his lawyer, then flung the rest of the bag’s contents at the jury. The jury had time to duck. The attorney did not.
While the stunt successfully got McGowan a mistrial, it also resulted in his bail being raised from $250K to $1 million. McGowan has pleaded not guilty to kidnapping for robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and other counts in connection with a 2007 home invasion.
