Sarcasm does not fly in court. Everything you say can and will be used against you. You do not have to be the defendant for that to apply. I sat through a lot of civil cases. Most of the people who lost, lost because they were being sarcastic. Sometimes, their LAWYER would take up this attitude, but judges are people, and they DO NOT like attitude. I was specifically a witness and sat through a lot of cases. This hit home for me.
That is what I said, yes. I had to sit through everyone else’s cases. If they were rude, they lost. Most of them that lost were rude.
Edit: I am giving you my anecdotal experience that was across 30+ cases. It was a lot. That’s why I’m fairly confident in my assertion. If you want to give me stats, I’ll listen. Otherwise, you just seem combative. I even remember several example cases I could give you.
I’m asking for stats? Prove your point with better evidence or move on ass hole. You haven’t provided any evidence for your argument. You’ve just been argumentative.
There should be a counterpart to “copaganda” for legal shows and media that depict the court as a pristine, high-stakes, yet ultimately fair process. It’s intriguing to witness people’s initial confrontations with corruption in this context—I understand their defensiveness, as the introduction of cognitive dissonance can be super uncomfortable.
On another note, it’s disheartening to consider how what you experienced likely contributes to the disproportionate legal contempt faced by POC compared to white individuals. Perceptions of rudeness vary widely across cultures, which can definitely influence systemic racism in the legal system.

What a complete and utter rubbish.
That was my experience. You also have to remember I I was in civil court.
You made a general statement that MOST of people lost their cases just because they were sarcastic. This is utter tosh.
Judges may not like sarcasm, no argument here. But to say that most people lost due to sarcasm is a complete nonsense.

Yup, let’s double down on your nonsense and your lack of understanding correlation and causation 🙄

Keep digging.
