Funny side of the law: Judge John Hurley starts laughing during 80-year-old Dolores Sheinis’ appearance in Broward County Court, Florida. During the three-minute hearing she made the courtroom break into hystrerics

She was taken into custody last Friday after resisting arrest for violating a protection order put in place by her husband more than 30 years ago.

During the three-minute hearing she called the judge ‘sweetheart’, said she couldn’t recognize his twang and asked if he could take her out for breakfast.

‘Have you ever thought of doing a stand-up routine,’ Judge Hurley asked her, to which she replied: ‘If you pay me good money sweetheart I’ll be there. I’m really short of funds.

Bizarrely she then said: ‘I don’t tip anybody. I make them banana bread and chocolate pudding pie.’

Still laughing, Judge Hurley then said: ‘You’ve brightened my day m’am’, to which she replied ‘That’s what the last guy said.’

Mrs Sheinis then said: ‘That is what the last guy said.’
