Basically, my brother was going to be his friend's witness who was being tried in municipal court. He never got called up.
Basically, this was the scene, according to him.
He wanted the guilty plea for trespassing (it was land once owned by a company that became bankrupt here in the pine barrens, but it was supposedly seized by the state we later learned. He didn't know he was trespassing at the time, but he admitted fault so he'd just pay the fee).
When he was called up and he gave his plea, the judge asked, "How old are you?"
"18"
"Does your parents know you're here?"
"Yes"
"I'm going to enter a not guilty plea, bring a parent and an attorney and I'll see you next time."
They became über confused. He repeated, "I want to enter a guilty plea" and she said, "I'm going to enter a not guilty plea and never let something like this happen again.
