??!! Dear Lindy West

Has your Google Alert for "feces" timed out? Whatever the case, fuck you for making me report this story about the San Diego man granted a mistrial after attacking his lawyer in court with you-know-what.

A mistrial was declared Monday when a home-invasion robbery suspect smeared human feces on his attorney's face then threw more at the jury. Weusi McGowan, 37, was upset because San Diego Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Fraser refused to remove Deputy Alternate Public Defender Jeffrey Martin from the case, prosecutor Christopher Lawson said. At the mid-morning break, McGowan produced a plastic baggie filled with fecal matter and spread it on Martin's hair and face, then flung the excrement toward the jury box, hitting the briefcase of juror No. 9 but missing the juror himself.

Full story here.

I threw up in my mouth a little, imagining the texture of the feces.

Does Mr. McGowan come from a culture in which smearing poop on someone is considered a grave insult?

It's really unprofessional for a lawyer to get shitfaced in court.

And here I was thinking that getting the Tan Crayon the morning after a 2-basket-of-chips solo-lunch at Jalisco's was unseemly.

Why would anyone have a plastic baggie of fecal matter?

@9: Because paper loses strength when it gets moist.

My hats off to the defendant for finding a way for our fucked up system to actually respectanize his issue with his court appointed lawyer.
Fecal matter FTW!
