State of Georgia Vs. Denver Fenton Allen Transcript Gets “Rick and Morty” Treatment

Earlier this year, a totally bonkers transcript from Rome, Georgia made national news. It involves a defendant, Denver Fenton Allen, a murder suspect in the death of another inmate at the Floyd County Jail. Allen goes in front of Judge Bryant Durham Jr. and attempts to get a new attorney, but the conversation between the two men just turns into a bizarre series of expletives and sexually charged comments.

The defendant allegedly goes in front of the judge to try to get a new attorney because his public defender was sexually abusing him, and forcibly performing oral sex on him. Allen then got increasingly vulgar and violent with the judge, threatening: “’ll cut your children up into pieces. I’ll knock their brains out with a (expletive) hammer and feed them to you. … The babies will be going, ‘Daddy, daddy, help me.” But Durham didn’t hold back, he told Allen that he “looked like a career.” All in all it was a totally bizarre exchange, you can check out the transcript for yourself here:

For those in the legal field–or people who just love good out-of-place swearing–the transcript was a riot. Apparently the creators of “Rick and Morty,” agreed, and made a “a faithful, word-for-word recreation of one colorful day in the American court system” for the show. Check it out:

And yes, all of the dialogue is taken directly from the transcript.

While this is a particularly funny court video, it’s not the first time that a ridiculous transcript has come to life through a video reenactment. A few years ago, the New York Times put together this hilarious clip, again straight from a deposition transcript.

Sometimes the best humor comes straight from the courtroom.
