    Funny wasn't it.

    Now was it an e-cigarette or a stunt for the jury?

    That's the real question.

    There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

      Accident or stunt, he still can't hold a candle to Clement Vallandigham.

        I call it suspicious that he was fiddling with something in his pocket during his speech, right before the flames erupted... He claims it wasn't a stunt, but he's a lawyer, so...

            Nah, I'm always fiddling with something when addressing, nervous energy.

              Yes, but I bet you don't always carry spent e-cigarette batteries in your pockets, as the investigators found in this guy's singed pocket, do you?
              Still, if he was just expending nervous energy, maybe it was an accident.

                If I smoked I might.

                Wouldn't be the strangest thing I've seen a Barrister pull out of his pocket.

                  It's no time impossible that it was an accident. Back when personal stereos were all the rage, I used to listen to mine at work and carried a spare AA battery in my trouser pocket. Occasionally I would do a sudden yelping dance around the office, as the battery was shorted out by my keys or loose change causing an intense burning sensation. With the increase in battery power since those days, I can easily see this resulting in flames.
                  Still a bit of a coincidence happening during an arson trial, though.

                    Will the lawyer bill the client for new trousers?

                      That definitely wasn't planned by the ex-"Copperhead" Civil War Democrat. By the way, despite his demise it won the case for his last client.

                        I hope so.

                            Funniest was the bloke mid cross examination, sweating he was going at it so hard, reaches for his handkerchief to wipe his brow, comes out with a pair of his toddler daughters pink underpants.

                            The laughter sort of ruined things a bit.

                            Another in a similar situation pulls out a lacy bra, but I think that was a stunt.
