The case was a higher court criminal case. It was a against a 5'2" Chinese lady who was a lawyer. The judge said she was being tried for refusing to give her identification and for assaulting the policeman who stopped her --for not stopping long enough at a red stop sign. I knew at once that the whole thing stunk. First of all--traffic cases--even more serious ones---are heard in the lower court where I live--not this higher court. Second of all--it seemed VERY unlikely that someone who was a lawyer would jeopardize their career by "assaulting" a policeman--especially over something so simple as getting a traffic ticket. I said out loud, "Is this an appeal of a (lower court) case?" Her lawyer immediately jumped up with a BIG smile on his face and said, "YES." The prosecuting attorney jumped up with an equally big scowl on his face and said he wanted to approach the bench. He talked to the judge for a bit and then returned to his seat. The judge then told me I was excused. It was obvious to them that I knew too much and they wanted no part of me.
