Arson Trial Has Electrical Fire While Fire Chief Testifies

Filed under: Law, Work — Posted by Fancy Pants on February 15th, 2006


An arson trial in Michigan was interrupted when an electrical fire broke out, showering the judge and his clerk with sparks … while a fire chief was testifying.

Fortunately nobody was hurt, although the trial was interrupted (and the defendant was ultimately found guilty).

How Ironic is This??

2 Irons: "Is that the best you can do?"
3 Irons: "Some might see some irony in this."
4 Irons: Tinged with Irony
5 Irons: Now That's Ironic!
