The Karma Files: Miami Lawyer’s Pants Burst Into Flames During Absurd Defense At Arson Trial!

This news story literally begged me, no DEMANDED that I take immediate action. It shouted my name from the rooftops and literally slapped me in the face to get my attention. Well, you have my full undivided attention now!

Not only is this story totally absurd, but as extra bonus points, it happened right here in my home State of Florida. You seriously can’t make this stuff up. Sit back with an ice-cold beer, or other adult beverage of your choice, and grab some snacks and enjoy.

Karma really is a bitch. But, she’s a bitch with an amazing sense of humour, and a solid sense of justice. That’s why I love her so much.

On Wednesday, March 8, 2017, A Lawyer, Stephen Gutierrez, a Miami defence attorney was representing a client in a Miami, Florida on a charge of arson.

Stephen Gutierrez

Attorney Gutierrez was representing his client, Mr. Claudy Charles, who was accused of intentionally setting his car on fire. Attorney Gutierrez just started his closing argument that Claudy Charles’ car was actually a case of “spontaneous combustion” Seriously, that was his defence for his client.

For those of you who are not familiar with the term, “Spontaneous Combustion” is defined as: the ignition of a substance or body from the rapid oxidation of its own constituents without heat from any external source.

To distill it down to its most basic essence, Attorney Gutierrez was actually arguing that his client’s vehicle was not intentionally set on fire, as the prosecution had claimed, but that Claudy Charles vehicle had actually just spontaneous combusted, on its own accord, for no apparent reason, or mechanical failure.

It was literally at this very moment when Attorney Gutierrez was delivering his absurd defence in his closing arguments to the jury when his right front pocket of his pants started smoking, and suddenly burst into flames. Talk about a pants-on-fire, lying attorney.

I certainly hope that Claudy Charles did not pay very much or anything, for this absurd defence, as he certainly didn’t get very much for his money.

I mean seriously, Attorney Gutierrez did not even attempt to argue that the Prosecution did not prove reasonable doubt, or present any technical evidence of a mechanical malfunction, OH NO! went straight to spontaneous combustion. Is this the guy you want representing you in a serious criminal case?

According to Attorney Gutierrez, the fire was caused because he had not one, but three, spare batteries for his e-cigarette in his front pocket. Wow! he must be a really, really, heavy smoker.

This is total bullshit!

Let me tell what really happened here. This was a typical case of Karma directly intervening just because Stephen Gutierrez deserved it. After all, what goe’s around, comes around. Or has the early Christians believed, “You shall Reap what You shall sow”

Here’s how I see what really happened.

I can imagine how Karma and several of the other Gods were watching the entire proceedings, as well as Stephen Gutierrez’s absurd defence of his client. As the Gods were watching in stunned disbelief, Karma formulated a plan. Knowing that this would only end badly, Karma decided to take direct action.

As Attorney Gutierrez was delivering his closing absurd defence, Karma decided that if Stephen Gutierrez wanted to play with fire, she would make sure that he would get burned.

And thus in the blink of an eye, while delivering an absurd defence and closing argument to the jury citing spontaneous combustion as a legal defence for arson, Attorney Gutierrez’s pants spontaneously combusted.

Unfortunately, Claudy Charles was convicted anyway by the jury of second-degree arson. I’m not an Attorney, nut this seems like a good case for appeal.

Somehow, I believe that Karma isn’t finished with Attorney Gutierrez just yet.

After all, What Goe’s Around, Comes Around! Karma is always watching and waiting. Karma can be a bitch, but I love her.

 

As Always,

I Am…..
