Your Honor, we have a case of fashion misconduct. In what might go down as the most unforgettable courtroom moment of the year, Judge Sean Perkins got the shock of his professional life when Officer Matthew Jackson appeared for a virtual hearing wearing his top uniform with just boxer shorts. No pants. No shame. Just pure drama.
It started off like any other remote session, serious faces, muted mics, justice in progress until Officer Jackson logged into the session. The judge couldn’t believe his eyes.
Detroit Police Officer Matthew Jackson logged in for a proceeding of Michigan’s 36th District Court on Monday … and thanks to a very unlucky camera placement, the whole courtroom got an eyeful of his “uniform” … boxers included (thankfully).
The courtroom gasped in unison… and Judge Sean Perkins blurted out in horror, “You got some pants on, officer?” Guess you could say justice really was hanging by a thread.
Jackson quickly zoomed the camera in up top and coolly replied, “No, sir!” No sweat.
Moral of the story? When attending court, wear pants. Always wear pants. Because once the internet sees your boxers there’s no appeal process for that. Officer Matthew wanted to free his balls but ended up in the news.
