"Tuesday’s session quickly descended into low farce when the judge exploded in anger over the casual shoes worn by one of the defense lawyers, Radu Catalin Dancu, who showed up late wearing blue suede sneakers with florescent green stripes. Threatened with a fine of more than $1,000 for showing disrespect to the court, the lawyer protested that the shoes were high-fashion footwear that cost $265 a pair and promptly demanded a new judge. The proceedings were then suspended for nearly four hours while court officials debated what to do. The trial resumed with the same judge on the bench and the same Adidas sneakers on Mr. Dancu’s feet". nytimes/2013/09/11/world/europe/new-twist-unveiled-in-case-of-art-stolen-from-dutch-museum.html?ref=global-home&_r=0
