Recorder’s Court Judge Robert DeMascio is a vicious man who wields a heavy hand against poor and black defendants that have the misfortune to enter “his” courtroom. He is almost as hard on youth dope offenders that come before him.
Recently though, two freaks had the last laugh when they ripped off the Judge’s gavel from his bench after he had just arraigned them on a charge of possession of marijuana.
Taking it home, the ingenious brothers hollowed out the mallet and stem and created a beautiful and functional hash pipe. This done, they sat back, toked up and dreamed of real justice.
