A man charged with assault and battery
-
A man charged with assault and battery insisted at his trial that he had just pushed his victim "a little bit". When he was pressured by the prosecutor to illustrate just how hard it was, the defendant approached the lawyer, slapped him in the face, grabbed him firmly by the lapels, and flung him over the table and across the room..
He then faced judge and jury and calmly declared, "I would say it was about one-tenth as hard as that."
