It's Hammer Time

[dda]

A murder trial is about to begin in Stockton-on-San-Joaquin.

This is being prosecuted by another attorney in my office.

The defendant is accused of having beaten a couple of family members to death with a hammer.

One of the wits in the office suggested to the attorney that she should play "It's Hammer Time" by MC Hammer. ( An old rap song for the young among you.)

A small chuckle was had at this witicisim.

Yesterday, a group of prospective jurors was brought to the courtroom for jury selection.

Guess who was on the panel?

Yep.

MC Hammer, himself.

He was defered until a later date as he had a contract which would have been breeched if he had been required to sit at this time.
