Craziest court room moments of all the time

There have been many sensational courtroom moments throughout history. One of the craziest moments occurred during the trial of Jack Ruby in 1964. Ruby had shot and killed Lee Harvey Oswald, the alleged assassin of President John F. Kennedy, on live television. In the courtroom, Ruby's defense attorney, Melvin Belli, called a surprise witness, a Chicago stripper named Candy Barr. She testified to Ruby's emotional state and tried to portray him as temporarily insane. This unexpected move stunned the courtroom and added to the already intense media coverage of the trial. Ultimately, Ruby was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death, but the trial's circus-like atmosphere and surprising witnesses make it one of the craziest courtroom moments in history
