Dishonorable Mention: Don West

Dishonorable Mention: Don West
Don West "Here’s how it goes: Knock knock. Who’s there? George Zimmerman. George Zimmerman who? All right. Good. You’re on the Jury … Nothing? That’s funny. After what you folks have been through the last two or three weeks." That is how defense attorney Don West began one of the largest murder cases of the year.  With the victim's family crying in the court room, West thought it would help his case to make a joke that wasn't only not funny, it wasn't understood by half the court room. He returned after lunch remorseful but despite his apology and hopes that his joke would in no way affect his client, we have a feeling this is going to be a very long and serious trial.  Let's just hope someone tells West that.
