Nobody likes a prop comic

In Reno County, Kan., a defense attorney reportedly pulled the pin off a dead grenade and placed it on the prosecutor's table during closing statements. (As a way to illustrate the concept of "imminent threat.") The sheriff's office is investigating. The sheriff already says it's illegal to bring any weapon into court without prior approval, even if the device is harmless. It didn't help his client, who was found guilty.

I actually like Carrot Top's humor. I just can't stand looking at him with all the weird plastic surgery he's had.

So what you're saying is, his face could be used as a prop as well, it's just not a very good one?

Clever defense tactic: Scare stuffings out of jurors?

May not have thought that one through.
