I'd stand up and say, "If you point that gun at me again I'll shove it up your sphincter."
Renisha McBride | Theodore Wafer | End-of-Day #8 Wrap-UpFirst—and it’s hard to believe this even happened, but numerous eye witness accounts attest to it—shortly before ending the cross-examination for the day Assistant Prosecutor Aritha Siringaspicked up Wafer’s shotgun and pointed it directly at the jury, finger on the trigger.
One assumes this was done through negligence, rather than intentionally—it would be most awkward to see Prosecutor Siringas bring charges against herself for fourteen counts of aggravated assault with a firearm.
Nevertheless, the jury was sufficiently alarmed by being swept by the shotgun’s muzzle that there were audible gasps, one jury was seen with her hands clasped to her face, and Judge Hathaway was compelled to call a sidebar and order Siringas to keep the muzzle of the shotgun pointed downward, thank you very much.
