Defendant hurled slipper at judge

An Indian man allegedly hurled a slipper at a court judge who promptly threw a paperweight back in reply.

Nazir Mohammad was in court in Baroda on charges of housebreaking and theft when he jumped out of the witness box and rushed towards the judge.

The robber, reportedly irritated with the slow pace of the case, took off his slipper and threw it at Chief judicial magistrate C D Vaghela.

Judge Vaghela immediately picked up a paperweight from his desk and threw it back at the accused, reports Midday.

Mohammed, who attacked two other judges last year in similar fashion, has been sent back to prison with an extra offence registered against him.

Members of the Baroda Bar Association went on strike after the incident to protest at the lack of security for judges, lawyers and witnesses.

Who wears slippers to court? Like if your going to wear slippers may as well wear steel toed boots. Now those will do some damage. How come this judge isn't in trouble? Since when can judges throw stuff at defendants? Like oh I got hit with a slipper I'll throw this brick at your dome. Gotta love the law

Man learns to tell 'pigs' from cops

Man learns to tell 'pigs' from cops

A New Zealand man who called police officers 'pigs' has been ordered to spend a day at a pig farm.

The 22-year-old has also been ordered to write an essay about the difference between pigs and police officers.

The man was charged with using offensive language after he hurled abuse at police during a trip to Auckland.

Community Magistrate Robyn Paterson at Tauranga District Court ordered him to spend a day at a pig farm and present a short essay on his experiences, reports The Bay of Plenty Times.

According to the newspaper, he wrote: "I was very, very drunk. I have stopped drinking because of what happened. I have wasted the police's time and my time."

He maintained the word pig could be found in the Oxford dictionary and was often used to describe police.

But added he had learned 'that there is nothing at all in common with a pig and an officer'.

Malaysian Lovers Ordered to Pay 4 Buffalos and one Pig

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - A news report says a Malaysian court has ordered two lovers to pay a fine of four buffaloes and a pig after they were found guilty of having an illicit affair.

The Star newspaper says the Native Court in Penampang district on Borneo island ruled Friday that the man and woman must compensate their communities with the animals, valued at about 6,000 ringgit ($1,800), for their tryst.

They were also fined 1,000 ringgit ($300) each.

The article describes this affair as illicit? Can there be an affair that isn't illicit? Way to kick them when there down

When did courts stop looking for money and start looking for animals. Also since when can you buy four buffaloes and a pig for $1800. This seems pretty cheap all things considered. If its cheaper then $400 for a Buffalo sign me up and let that thing stroll around my back yard. I would way rather pay five grand then to have to go track down all these animals and deliver them to the village. Hope she was worth it buddy
