The Miami Herald quotes this anecdote allegedly involving veteran attorney Sy Gaer:
Attorney: I’m here on a mission of mercy for this poor innocent child, your honor.
Judge: How old is this ‘poor child’?
Attorney: He’s 23 years old, your honor … a babe in the woods.
Judge: If I recall, once you reach 18, you’re not a child anymore.
Attorney: I have suits that are older, your honor.
Judge: You have speeches that are older. I’ve heard them all Mr. Gaer. Motion denied.
