   I think the guy showed a lot of dedication, he really stuck with his “story”. I sent that to my cop/hubby yesterday. He said that guys pull that stuff all of the time.

   The guy is very dedicated to his role, continuing to pretend to be in some kind of coma even while the judge totally calls him on it. Bravo!

   The only thing missing was a “I’m coming Elizabeth!”

   I have has someone do this to me but I (taking the safe option)called the paramedics. If someone does have a triansient ischemic attack they will have anything from temporary loss of vision or difficulty speaking to loss of consciousness (though this is very uncommon).

   I think it’s probably not worth the risk of dismissing something as fake until it can be properly checked out. I hope they at least gave him an aspirin.

   As much as I hate they guy who was faking it in front of me and made me call the ambulance… I’d have hate myself more if it was real.

   Tough call

   I think it’s probably not worth the risk of dismissing something as fake until it can be properly checked out.

   At 27 seconds into the video – right after people rushed over to check him out – there’s a cut. The timestamp on the video shows that it’s a cut of 35 minutes.
   At 1:50, the judge says to him “You’ve been checked out by trained deputies who are medics, you’ve been checked out by a registered nurse as well as an emergency medical technician. All of whom indicate that there is nothing physically wrong with you, nor any reason why you couldn’t continue here, sir”.

    This is a huge, hilarious failure.
