September 1993 - Did She Really Say That?
From
Judge Catherine Adamski Gant of Fort Worth (141st) District Court), this excerpt from one of her recent trials:
The Court: You may stand down. Do you have any other witnesses?
Pro Se Plaintiff: No, I don't.
The Court: [As pro se plaintiff resumes her seat at counsel table] Are you resting now?
Pro Se Plaintiff: I'm fine. Thank you.
Judge Gant adds: "The plaintiff seemed so impressed by my kindness, she didn't understand why I then granted the motion for directed verdict in my next breath."
