About a week later, a 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck, destroying a bunch of buildings and killing over 300 people.

Municipal Court Judge Mark Mihok charged Durrell Brooks with contempt of court Thursday and gave him three days in jail. Mihok said he saw that Brooks’ pants were down and he could see his underwear.

"I don't have a dress code," Mihok said. "People can wear really whatever they want, but they have to cover up. I can't accept people showing their underwear in a courtroom."

Brooks was the third person in a month to be sent to jail by Mihok for sagging. He said one man's pants were so low that they weren't even touching the seat when he sat down.

jeffersonish — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 19:04:28 +0000

Judge hears cell phone and asks whose phone it was. When nobody confesses he sends all 46 people in the courtroom to jail. This is an old story I stumbled across but it was so outrageous, I just had to submit it.

Crack Jacket

Court fashion trend?
The man's white jacket looked like a how-to guide for making crack cocaine, with a series of little pictures of a white substance with a spoon, a carton of baking soda and a little pot over a fire. The end product was a "rock," slang for the drug.

MemoryDealers — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 04:43:52 +0000

A fairly well-known NH liberty supporter in Tokyo is moving against Keene's police department. His plan involves paying bitcoins to unemployed New Hampshirites...hiring them to stand in front of unpopular cops' houses. On November 12 he took out a Craiglist ad to that effect.
