Jerry Bartle was arrested and put on trial for robbing a local shop at
gunpoint. In his wisdom he decided that he would represent himself in court.
He appeared to be doing reasonably well until the shop's owner took the
stand to give his evidence.
She had identified him immediately as the robber, when Bartle jumped up
and yelled, 'You're lying! I should have blown your head off!' He paused,
then added, 'If I had been the one that was there.'
The jury found him guilty and Jerry Bartle was sentenced to thirty years
imprisonment.
