Lawyer's Pants Catch Fire During FLORIDA Arson Trial [View all]
https://www.google.com/amp/www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/amp/lawyer-s-pants-catch-fire-during-florida-arson-trial-n731161It seemed like a set up to a tired joke: A lawyer's pants caught on fire in court.
Gutierrez, 28, was in the in the Miami-Dade county courtroom defending 49-year-old Claudy Charles, who was accused of setting his car alight.
But During his closing argument, Gutierrez began to feel heat coming from his pocket where he had several electric cigarette batteries, he told NBC News in an email.
As Gutierrez argued Charles' car had merely spontaneously combusted, the lawyer's pants seemed to do the same.
