Same! I showed up to court in Arkansas for my child custody case and twice court officials asked who I was representing. A Mexican man’s young girl (he didn’t speak English) was begging me for help. God I felt bad, but I was trying to explain I was a defendant myself. :( Why did you make me remember that?!

One time when I was in court for a warrant (unpaid moving violation) and stood and answered roll call, “Thank you Mr. Shalafi for dressing appropriately for my courtroom.” I skated with only paying the fine.
