As he wrapped up his closing statement in the Franklin Shelter trial Wednesday, pro se defendant Jesse Schultz said, "As Woody Guthrie said," when a prosecutor interjected, "Objection! Not in evidence!" Laughter erupted throughout the courtroom, and the smiling judge suggested that he courtroom hear what My. Guthrie had to say. Jesse continued with a quote from Guthrie's "Pretty Boy Floyd": "Some will rob you with a six-gun/Some with a fountain pen."
Thanks Jesse, and thank you Woody. Happy birthday.
