Jerry wanted his day in...

Jerry wanted his day in court. He was convinced there was no way the state trooper could
have actually clocked him on his radar, so he elected to go to court. He did his research.
He looked up radar machines on the internet and found out the things that can go wrong
with them. He learned how other people had successfully defended themselves in similar
situations. He even looked up the service record of the patrolman who had stopped
him.
Jerry got his day in court. Everyone was very nice to him. He got to make all of his arguments. Then the state trooper testified about the fact that the radar detector had been calibrated that morning. He spoke about the range and accuracy of the machine (the internet doesn't always have all the facts!). He spoke authoritatively about things he knew well. Jerry got his day in court and his $105 fine grew, with court costs, to $275.
Job wanted his day before the Lord. Did he really?
