Judge Kadizzled


As some may know, Lord Kadizzle is also Judge Kadizzle for both the city of Hazen, and the city of Hebron, North Dakota. Yesterday his lordship held a hearing in Hebron. It was the classic case of two stories that were entirely different. A school bus driver asserted that an elderly gentleman had passed the school bus illegally. The elderly gentleman brought two witnessed to court that said he was home having coffee when this happened.

It is hard to tell for sure what happened, but it appears the bus driver may have been mistaken about what day it happened. So the offender was testifying in regard to what he did on May 26, and the bus drive was testifying to what happened on May 25. The bus driver steadfastly said he had his dates right.

The defendant was found not guilty. The lesson in all of this is to take good notes. The wife of the defendant brought her diary to court. She had very good notes indicating the defendant took a nap around the time he was accused of passing the school bus. The bus driver on the other hand had no notes or witnesses. If you have an incident that may become a court case, take some notes, write down the time, and as much detail as you can. You never know when you will need it.
