This Made Me Laugh Out Loud

And from an opinion in my crim law casebook, no less! :D

"Pope [the defendant] moved that we strike from the State's brief and appendix a selection from the Year Book of 1484 written in Medieval Latin and references thereto. The State provided no translation and conceded a total lack of knowledge of what it meant. The motion is granted."

(Pope v. State, Maryland Court of Appeals 1979) (Sorry I don't really know how to cite cases yet.)
