Court reporter

parts of the Fayette County Court, located close to my home.

The motorcyclist is the plaintiff in the case (which is the person being represented by the firm) and sustained serious injuries after the accident. The person who was being deposed witnessed the accident. The deposition started at 10:00 a.m. and…

I spent close to four hours in the Superior Court of California, County of San Bernardino, Victorville District. More specifically I sat in department V10, which is a criminal court.

There are not actually mutant fleas and giant flying cats, and berry hints at this in the story. Dave Barry's short story called “mutant fleas terrorize midwest”, there were lots of examples of high humor, more than low humor. In most cases, there are examples of irony, and hyperbole, to making satire for us…
