Man pleading insanity moons jury during trial (WASN'T ME!!)

i SWEAR! :P

<snip>

PANAMA CITY, Fla. -- A man who mooned jurors before his conviction on armed burglary and aggravated battery charges has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Cornell Jackson, 29, swore and yelled at Circuit Judge Michael Overstreet before bailiffs escorted him from the courtroom. The outburst followed his trial in July when he punctuated his insanity defense by loudly hooting "cuckoo-cuckoo" and dropping his pants to moon the jury.

Circuit Judge Michael Overstreet said Tuesday that Jackson would have to serve a previously imposed 13-year sentence before he begins his 20-year penalty.
