A friend with bipolar disorder and a marijuana dependancy was done for possession a few years ago. I came with him to court as moral support, but mainly to watch the fun, as he was representing himself and was to bring his 'assistance dog' (a boxer bitch, lovely dog) with him into the courtroom. He also invited a friend, who is blind and had his german shepherd with him, into the court. Your man (the accused) was wearing a tiger onesie, like something a little kid would wear to bed, with a head and tail and everything. It was what he was waring when he was arrested.

The two dogs started scrapping about my feet between the benches. The judge was ever so patient, but eventually he ordered that the german shepherd be removed. The assistant dog stayed all afternoon until the case was heard, and the judge himself went to his chambers to fetch a bowl of water for the animal.

Turns out the judge was a dog lover as well, and they had a long conversation about the amazing powers of dogs to stiff out cancer in urine samples. It was a riot of an afternoon, and the accused made a good account of himself, standing tall in his onesie and cross examined the guards. He was let off with a caution, given the "...Very modest quantity and dubious quality of the substance...!"
