Courting trouble

Adam Reposa must have been playing hooky that day in law school when the prof said, “And another thing. When you’re in court, don’t pretend to whack off in front of the judge.”

If he had been in class that day instead of throwing a frisbee around in the quadrangle, Reposa probably would be a free man. Instead, he’s doing 90 days for contempt of court.

That’s because last March, while standing before a county court-at-law judge in Austin, he used his right hand in an internationally recognized symbol for, uh, masturbation.

At his hearing this week, Reposa’s lawyer asked for a sentence of just one day in jail.

The presiding judge game him 90. He said he felt it was his "honor to uphold the integrity of the judicial process."

I would say something snippy about that, but I might find myself in a cell next to Reposa.

Oh well, Reposa is a defense attorney, and this is a learning experience.

Now he can say in all honesty to the dirtbags he represents, “Hey, man, I know what it’s like on the inside. You can do that much time easy. … Just avoid the meatloaf on Tuesdays.”
