The boyfriend is hauled off the stand to applause, and Reba power-walks out of the courtroom.

Slapped the sheriff on the back with a smile\\

* ''Music/{{NWA}}'''s "Fuck Tha Police" has the framing device of the group putting a cop on "trial", where the judge is Music/DrDre. Naturally, as it's a song about PoliceBrutality, they decide to show the cop no more mercy than he would to them, and offer "testimony"--i.e. rapping in turn about how cops are cowardly, power-tripping racists. Eventually, the judge finds the cop "guilty of being a redneck, whitebread, chickenshit motherfucker."

Judge Markham hearing a nudist case) starts off with the judge showing impartiality by giving ''himself'' six months.

* "Hurricane", Music/BobDylan's narrative of Rubin Carter's condemnation based on little to no proof of culpability, describes Carter's trial thus:
-->All of Rubin's cards were marked in advance\\
The trial was a pig circus, he never had a chance\\
The judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums\\
To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum\\
And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger\\
No one doubted that he pulled the trigger\\
And though they could not produce the gun\\
The D.A. said he was the one who did the deed\\
And the all-white jury agreed.
