MANHATTAN — A 19-year-old medical student answered the age-old question "how to get out of jury duty?" Thursday, when she was thrown out of a Manhattan court over an obscene T-shirt.
Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Thomas Farber was apparently not amused by the garment, which featured the phrase "WHO THE F--- IS KANYE WEST?"
"How could you possibly think it is appropriate to wear a T-shirt that says 'f---' in my courtroom?" Farber asked Nneka Eneorj, interrupting proceedings in the police brutality trial of ex-NYPD officer David London.
"You're dismissed."
But the offending tee would not be the last appearance of the "f-word" in Farber's court that day.
Following the alternate juror's dismissal, the defendant gave a swear-filled testimony, in which he defended striking an Iraq veteran 20 times with a baton.
The shirt, which is sold at Urban Outfitters, appears to refer to an exchange between rapper Kanye West and satirical talk show host Stephen Colbert.
