In Luxembourg a few weeks ago, an elder lady fell down some steps and broke a leg. The ambulance, driving her to hospital, has an accident. And the lady dies...

That happens unfortunately often in the US. I have a friend who was in the rear of an ambulance with a patient when someone failed to pull over when they saw the flashing lights and heard the siren that t-boned her rig. They had to cut the driver out of the ambulance, and my friend's leg and knee were shattered. She spent more than a year rehabbing after that accident. Could have been worse, as since the EMT tending the patient in the back of a rig isn't belted in, she essentially became a projectile, and somehow managed to avoid serious head trauma.

IIRC, their patient survived.

now, about that picture ... why is there a badly drawn bra over his man-boobs?

Here in Austin, there used to be a huge "memorial" spraypainted on the street in an old residential area close to downtown. It was a crude picture of a cat, as wide as the street, and underneath it it said, "You killed my cat and didn't even stop. Thanks, asshole." It was there for over a decade, occasionally getting a new coat of white spraypaint to keep it from fading.

So anyway, about 5 or 6 years ago, the guy who created it died. He was hit by a car.

You missed the point,...again. :p I don't care if you're a certified saint, you don't get smart with the judge because they'll use their power to crush you like a grape. A billion bucks and OJ's dream team won't save your ass if the judge is pissed. Contempt of court is quite common but expressing it is not because the judges guard the decorum of their courts, with vigor. Jailed for contempt is unlike any other legal process in that it's permanent until the judge is satisfied. You can't circumvent his/her wrath.

Oh hell, Bruce, I miss so many points I might as well be wearing armor!

I think I know what you mean about the whole contempt of court thing, but in this particular case the judge must have been scared of bad press or something. He put off sentencing the nun for 6 weeks during which time he asked her to reconsider her stance, telling her that she really would not like conditions at the local county jail. I don't know what happened when she re-appeared before him. I meant to follow the case, but forgot.
