Claudy Charles was on trial for arson in Miami. His defense was that the car spontaneously combusted. His lawyer, Stephen Gutierrez, was arguing this defense when his pants burst into flame! When a lawyer's pants are on fire… well, you know. However, prosecutors were concerned that the stunt was planned, to demonstrate the possibility of spontaneous combustion. As if anyone would believe that. Charles was ultimately found guilty of the crime. -via reddit
