Better Than Court TV

There was a pretty interesting hearing in the County Court at Law this morning. A lady was seeking a protective order against her husband (or ex-husband) and for one reason or another, the cops were a little nervous. I bet I counted six sheriff's deputies in the courtroom that were there for added security. I watched a little bit of the hearing and it was pretty bizarre. The husband indicated that God had told him he was a prophet about seven years ago and would be sending him on a journey. Throw in guns, an assault, a reference to six kids, a trip to Israel, a pet mouse, a miscarriage, the spanking of a kid at an airport, a request for a recess in order "to break water", and a mental confinement then you have a pretty entertaining hearing. The motion for a protective order was granted by the way.
