Imponderable #104: Albuquerque New Mexico

August 9, 2013

This one is so obvious it borders on the cliché. But it is still funny!

Just from his name, anyone who hired John Wayne Higgins to defend him was screwed. Look it up, the annals of crime are full of people with the middle name Wayne. John Wayne Gacy, for example.

This was not the first time John Wayne Higgins was drunk in court. Last month, he defended a client with the “I know you are but what am I?” defense, and in April, he summed up a case with “your honor, may it please the court that blearrrgh!” and vomited all over the plaintiff.

Why would a lawyer not lose his license over this?
The question is Imponderable.
