Atlantic City voter fraud trial turns into circus





From the Atlantic City Press:   “After just five minutes on the stand Tuesday morning, Harris asked Batten if he could go to the bathroom. He quickly left the stand and returned later. After several more minutes of testimony in which Harris showed frustration after being asked to speak up and move forward in the witness box, he got sick again.  As the judge talked with attorneys at a sidebar, Harris sat in the witness stand, hunched over a trash can and could be heard heaving and coughing loudly. . . . ‘He actually was singing a song,’ said Michael Schreiber, who is representing defendant LuQuay Zahir. ‘He was saying the words, ‘God is on my side.’ ‘  . . . At one point, he posed as a Press of Atlantic City photographer snapped photos. Then, during another private meeting, he tried to shield himself from pictures, then gave the photographer the middle finger.”
