It’s just too rich that the first witness is named Pecker! This comedy writes itself!

For the cheap shot: Is there any chance we can add a Johnson to the witness list?
After all, we have a prick as the defendant.

That’s a beautiful photograph. The city is so full of beautiful buildings. And colors. I’m feeling nostalgic.

I regret that without cameras in the courtroom we will not be treated to a scene of an erect Pecker standing in the witness box with his hand on one of tfg’s bibles.

I take some comfort at the thought of the old bastard’s discomfort sitting in a chilly courtroom all day. It is about the only penalty he has ever been forced to pay in his whole life of crime.

If he had any smarts, (fat chance) He could wear heavier clothes to stay warm, which would have the serendipitous \benefit of muffling his farts. Win Win!
