My brother was in court to prove his innocence about some driving tickets he was issued. It's never a good experience being in the court specially if you are the guilty defendant. However, this time he was amused!
A courtroom, where pin drop silence is demanded except when asked to speak, any disturbance would violate the terms and conditions set forward. In this particular courtroom, filled with men and women of various age ranges including infants accompanied by their parents had some entertainment in store in the expense of someone else.
There was a middle aged defendant who was sentenced even before his crime was disclosed. While the court was in session, his phone sang the tune of 'Sexy Back' by Justin Timberlake setting the whole court room into laughter! The sad part is that he was sent to six months in prison for the violation of the courtroom and playing inappropriate music in front of minors!
This is true but is it allowed??

I don't see how it would be allowed to give a man 6 months for that. I was in a smaller courtroom one time and a man's phone sytarted beeping, and of course the security guards become extremely pissed off and are osmewhat forceful escorting the person out, but 6 months jailtime? Sounds like they bended some rules a bit.
6 months for that?! Had the ringtone been Peter Andrea and Katie Price's version of "A Whole New World" I could understand the crime but Justne Timberlake? I don't see how playing a tune by an ex boyband artist could be inappropriate...
thats exactly what I'm wondering about!!
pari dai! small world huh....loud cell phones are irritating most of the times but, 6 months jail time?! hope he appealed and got out of it...else, it's like losing 6 months of your life over nothing...damn..
