A defendant came into court for Jail Pleas on Friday. He was clearly crazy in a "holy crap that's some crazy shit he's saying, no, for real, crazy like he actually believes the voices in his head." Not in a, "wow that lawyer asked for a formal arraignment he's crazy" kind of way.
I didn't talk to this guy, but I saw him at the podium talking to the judge and taking a plea. When she asked him how old he was, he answered by asking her to follow the recommendation of the prosecutor. Not so crazy yet. Then when the judge finished getting him through the plea, the real fireworks started. He had several exchanges with the judge and all of them were pleasant enough, there was no yelling, ranting, raving, etc.
He asked if she could do anything about the software in his head. (she said no). He then told her about how nervous he felt in the courtroom because there were a lot of people in there and he felt like they could explode any minute. (She told him he was safe) Then he told her that he had power. Real power. Nuclear power. In fact, he warned everyone that he might go off at any time and they should be careful because he didn't know what might happen. Again, the judge told him that everything would be fine.
Then one of the deputies told him that he was going to have to get back on the spaceship, to which he replied, "OK, let's get going."
