The perjury trial of 34 year old Evan Thompson of New Paltz will be held in the courtroom of Judge Joe Brown according to an agreement reached this week.
The alleged perjury occurred during a taping of Judge Judy, during which Thompson, the defendant, stated under "oath" that his ex-girlfriend told him that he could borrow her car "whenever he wanted to".
Thompson's case will be prosecuted by Judge Greg Mathis, who said, "If you can get away with lying on Judge Judy, the highest rated court show on TV, that is a threat to our entire system of televised justice. The whole TV court system almost becomes just a big joke."
"I'm glad that the case will be heard by Judge Brown. Don't let his folksy demeanor fool you. He's stern, knows the law, and can really spot when young women are dressed inappropriately."
Asked for comment on the case, defendant Thompson stated, "I'm not sure I'm even going to show up. It's not a real court! The 'subpoena' they sent me was delivered by a homeless guy and written in pencil on the back of a Chinese take-out menu.
"Only reason I might is that they threatened to send Dog the Bounty Hunter after me. Can they do that?"
