I was gonna call this thread "Unintentionally funny cases", but I thought better of it as I realized that the cases themselves are really no laughing matter, but the way those cases are re-enacted can sometimes be a source of humor, either through actions or dialogue. Here are some of my picks.
Sammy Wheeler Liz Carmichael Bonnie Wilder Josephine White Adam Hecht (his family seemed so high falutin, you can't help but be amused.) Audrey Moate (the redneck couple made me laugh a little. The woman reminded me of a backwoods version of Roseanne Barr in the 80's )Gilbert Ortiz (Sadly, his wife probably thought the story about the masked man and the little boy over very carefully. Imagine if she wasn't even trying!) Any others? |

What about the fat cowboy who claimed his ranch was haunted?

There was one that Awsi Dooger (for those of you who remember him) used to have as his avatar. It was from the Charlotte Polis segment. Apparently, somewhere in the segment, Paul takes his kids out for hamburgers from the drive-thru and the camera pans to one of the kids in the backseat holding his hamburger with this totally blissful look on his face. It's hysterical.

Nice timing, CRicci. I wandered back here tonight after reading about the Clark Rockefeller situation on another board. Surreal. I knew you guys would have the best info with convenient access. Gad, and UM is going to resume on Spike? I hadn't heard that. It's been a year since I watched anything about true crime. My mom nearly died of a diabetic coma on Christmas Eve and I spent 6 months in Miami helping her recover. Congrats on the lawyering. How many cases have you blown? |

I nominate the haunted house segment from Florida with the young obese kid married to the young girl who got possessed and attacked him. |

Some of Missy Munday's mother's lines were amusing. Not to mention the update where Jerry Strickland was captured. He was talking about all they had against them was "circlestantive" evidence...

It made me laugh when this heavyset guy had sex with this hot female ghost and he said he was disturbed by the experiance.
In the same episode, another woman was possessed and started acting hysterical, laughing irrationally. It was more humorous than disturbing.

Oh, yeah! Allen and his "possessed" wife. That was unintentionally hysterical.
Yes, Awsi. Welcome back. Hope your mom is on the mend.... and I've blown more cases than I care to admit. (Not true. Actually had my first solo jury trial and got the judge to dismiss it because the prosecutors didn't abide by the rules of discovery. Pretty big first win, if I may say so myself. )
