I was in court today watching a rearrangement for a defendant who was entering into a plea agreement. The judge was going through the traditional colloquy:
Judge: Are you under the influence of drugs?
Defendant: No.
Judge: Are you currently taking any prescription medications?
Defendant: Yes.
Judge: You are? [You dumbass! A simple "no" is all you are supposed to say.] Which medications are you currently taking?
Me (thinking): Please say something great like oxycotin, codene, or something great that will get you in even more trouble or invalidate your plea agreement!!!! Please!
Defendant: Valtrex.
Defendant's Husband (from the audience): WHAT?!?!?!
Judge: Do we need to take a short recess?
