Years ago, sitting in court one morning when two fiish and game guys come in along with a defendent in a possesion of short lobster case. They had an agreed disposition. Guy stands up when his case is called and the judge asked him if he, the defendent agrees with and understand the $50.00 fine. He sayd he did and he does. Judge says o.k. that'l be fifty dollars. The two fish and game guys jump and says judge that is $4850.00 in fines. The guy had just shy of 1000 lobsters. Judge says o.k., he then says to the defendent, "is that what you understood?" Defendent replies, "yes." O.K. $4850.00 it is then. Judge asked the defendent one more question, how come it is that your not fighting this by going to trial? Defendent replies, "cause thier letting me keep my boat judge."
