This being where an American judge dismisses assault charges against a Muslim that attacked a man wearing a zombie Mohammed costume.
We can only hope this asshole won't be on the bench much longer.
I guess the morons in Oklahoma were on to something with their law against using Sharia law in US courts.

Really, he thought a theology lecture was in order? Or a short primer on Sharia? As opposed to, oh, IDK, fulfilling the obligations of his position in accordance to our laws?

How did he know it was Mohammed. I know there was zombie pope there, but.. was he wearing a name tag?

The article says he had a sign hanging around his neck that the Muslim tried to tear off, and I assumed it probably said Mohammed on it. Or maybe it was just a pedophile zombie, and the Muslim mistook him for his prophet.

Quote:Elbayomy had admitted to Sgt. Curtis that he attacked Perce, but in the courtroom, he denied ever making physical contact with him. Judge Martin did not believe Sgt. Curtis. Perce had been shooting a video when Elbayomy attacked him from behind, but Judge Martin did not allow the video to be admitted as evidence.
I'm no lawyer, but could someone explain why in a court system, any evidence (especially something like a video) could be rejected?

Judge shows video depicting zombie mohammed. Story is relayed to the middle east with a twist. Embassies burn as judge shows video mocking mohammed to a courtroom.
I am joking.. but these days, you could imagine it being true.

if it's inflammatory they can. in other words, if a video shows evidence, but also footage that would cause the jury to form negative opinions about the defendant, and that prejudice outweighs the probative value of the evidence, it can be rejected.

'Evidence' is not a synonym for 'proof'.Evidence is simply anything used to support a position.G the bible is indeed indeed evidence for heaps of stuff.What is NOT is credible evidence or proof,of anything.
PLUS, under American rules of evidence evidence may be excluded for a range of reasons. EG evidence found during a search made without a warrant or 'probable cause'. The 'poisonous fruit 'rule,used I think, in the OJ Simpson trial.Some videos,such as time stamped security footages are routinely admitted. The type of example you cited is not always admitted.
I am loathe to second guess legal opinions because I am not a lawyer,and am aware the law has nothing to with justice.

I was thinking the same, that maybe this was some media report hiccup, so I checked the link for the audio. Nope, this guy has completely lost his shit.
