Friday's Three Burning Legal Questions - Legal Blog Watch

Here are today's?three burning legal questions, along with the answers provided by the blogosphere.

1. Question:?I'm a woman in my 20s and I was ordered by the court to wear an ankle?bracelet after being convicted of being in a fight outside a nightclub. The bracelet really doesn't go with my fashion style, though. Can I spice it up a bit by bedazzling it with fake diamonds?

Answer:?No. That is a "serious offense" that will get you fined by the court. (The Verge,?Woman fined for bedazzling her court-ordered ankle monitor)

2. Question:?My car was towed away because I supposedly parked in a marked handicapped spot, but I swear on all that is holy that the spot I parked in was NOT marked as handicapped when I pulled into it. Am I going crazy??

Answer:?No, sometimes the city will paint a new handicapped spot around your already-parked car and then tow your car away. (Jonathan Turley,?City Workers Paint Disabled Parking Box Around Woman's Car And Then Tow The Car As Illegally Parked)

3. Question:?I am on trial for assault. The prosecutors claim that a fight I had with another man cost him his left eye. While the man was testifying against me and weeping about the impact of losing his eye, his?prosthetic eye popped out. Can I get a mistrial here?

Answer:?Yes! (The Associated Press,?Mistrial declared when prosthetic eye pops out)
