failed shout out in court
July 4th, 2012
Oklahoma City: Dennis Newton was on trial for the armed robbery
of a convenience store in a district court this week when he
fired his lawyer. Assistant district attorney Larry Jones said
Newton, 47, was doing a fair job of defending himself until the
store manager testified that Newton was the robber. Newton
jumped up, accused the woman of lying and then said, “I should
of blown your fucking head off.” The defendant paused, then
quickly added, ” – if I’d been the one that was there.” The jury
took 20 minutes to convict Newton and recommended a 30 year
sentence.
