Objection m'lady😂😂😂😂😂
He should have received another charge for all the second-hand embarrassment he caused anyone watching his performance!
He learned his accent from a Dicken's novel.
Ah yes. They were lying. That's why he faked his death, fled the country, and changed his identity. Then he got caught and made up a conspiracy about giving him tattoos and changing his fingerprints. All signs of a perfectly innocent person.
Objection m'lady! my name is Arthur Knight of the Roundish Table (bows to her ladyship).
What I need to know is if he really needs the oxygen and wheelchair. I'll never forget that clip where someone asks him and he tries to stand up in a dramatic way, it's hilarious. His wife helped him cover up his identity, she also needs to be investigated.
His accent sounds like something a high schooler would use in a school play. I expected him to call someone “guv’nor’” and ask for tea and crumpets
Someone disconnect his oxygen tank, see how long he goes without noticing!
Even though there's a comedic element to this case, this guy is a violent person towards women. I hope he never gets out of prison.
I lost it at “my lady “ . I had to go back and watch it again , I was so confused
