This is a sad but kind of funny deposition clip, it's funny because I'm surprised that the lawyer who's taking the depo can actually understand what the witness is saying. I'm assuming that the deponent is mentally challenged. I'm posting this deposition video clip because I'm curious to know what people think about it. Leave your comments below.
After Vegas Defense lawyer, Joe Caramagno due to defend a man against a kidnapping charge showed up to court late and smelling of booze last week, a Clark County District Court judge ordered the attorney to take a Breathalyzer test in open court, then declared a mistrial when the test confirmed her suspicions.
In a remarkable exchange captured by the courtroom's video camera, District Judge Michelle Leavitt ordered defense attorney Joseph Caramagno to submit to the test after she smelled alcohol on his breath.
The result indicated that Caramagno's blood-alcohol level was 0.075. In Nevada, it is illegal to drive with a blood-alcohol level of 0.08 or higher
