Smoking Gun's Legal Document of the Year
-
"Yes, five months remain in the year, but we're ready to announce the winner of the prestigious 2003 Legal Document of the Year award. The below motion was filed earlier this month in connection with a criminal charge filed against a Colorado teenager. The boy's troubles started when he was confronted at school by a vice principal who suspected that he had been smoking in the boys bathroom. When presented to the principal, the kid exploded, cursing the administrator with some variants of the "F" word. For his outburst, the boy was hit with a disorderly conduct rap, which was eventually amended to interfering with the staff, faculty, or students of an educational institutional. Faced with what he thought was a speech crime, Eric Vanatta, the teen's public defender, drafted the below motion to dismiss the misdemeanor charge. The District Court document is an amusing and profane look at the world's favorite four-letter word, from its origins in 1500 to today's frequent use of the term by Eminem, Chris Rock, and Lenny Kravitz." you should read the whole thing. it's quite amusing. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/fword1.html[^] CheeseWeasle

Great article! Is it just me, or does anyone else see a problem with a school administrator who's only method of dealing with a teenager who talks dirty is to hand it off to the legal system? That's pathetic - I wouldn't let this clown administer a hot dog pushcart!

Is this a hoax? I mean the "document" could be made to look like an official document in a a very short amount of time using Photoshop. I have heard nearly all of the text contained in that document, nearly verbatim, on various internet sites and email joke mailings from friends. If I had to vote, I'd say the whole thing is a fake. If it isn't, then the ddefense lawyer should be disbarred for being so cutesy and disrespectful of the court.
