Only In Florida: Defendant flings poo in court

A Florida burglar became public enemy number-two by throwing a fit -- and a handful of his own excrement -- at the judge presiding over his trial.

Dorleans Philidor aimed his stink bomb at Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Lisa Walsh but--fortunately for the judge--missed. Lawyers and bystanders fled the courtroom as corrections officers swarmed the suspect, who reportedly yelled, “It’s protein! It’s good for you!” 

Walsh wasn't fazed, even when the 33-year-old Philidor licked his fingers clean during the incident. She moved the trial to another courtroom, where jurors, who didn't see any of the earlier incident, found him not guilty of the charges he was facing. (At first, I was like, WHAT?! But I guess the poo-flinging is separate from the burglary, which is the reason he was in court. I'm guessing he'll have to appear again on additional charges)

If this story happened anywhere else I'd question its authenticity. But, it's Florida, so I'm going to assume it's all true.

THAT IS NASTY. What is wrong with people?! Apparently this isn't the first time the defendant has used poo in court... you can read more at the link below...at your own risk because eew.
