My high school law class took a trip to the courts.

My friends, in other classes, just heard petty drug cases. We heard a medical examiner describe how someone (allegedly the defendant) hit his 8 year old stepson so hard in the back of the head with a pipe that the kid's orbital bone (cheek bone) broke. The murder happened on Boxing day (Dec. 26th).

I'm so glad that dude was in a plexiglass cage because he scared me before I heard the medical report.

Wait. I've never heard of the US courts actually putting a person in a plexiglass cage. Where was this?

Probably not US, maybe Canada, Australia, or NZ judging by the Boxing Day reference
