Demetrius Lewis appeared in Judge Tabitha Blackmon’s Fort Lauderdale courtroom via video link due to COVID, but that wasn’t about to stop him from trying his luck:

SHOOTING HIS SHOT – A defendant apparently tried to make a move on a Broward judge during his bond court appearance this morning, but he didn’t seem to get very far. 😂

Big up Demetrius Lewis. As everyone knows, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. This kid was in a very serious courtroom setting where his freedom was essentially on the line, and he still thought the best course of action was to try and chat up the judge. Amazingly, I think it almost worked? The judge was giggling like a little girl and behaving like that was the first time anyone had ever called her gorgeous. I really think that on another day she would have just dropped the charges and let him go free just for being so damn smooth.

Also, according to the longer video, Demetrius was in possession of MDMA while committing his burglarly, which makes me think he might have been buzzing off his tits in front of the judge here. Would explain why his eyes nearly popped out of his skull when he saw her and then proceeded to chance his arm. Alas, it didn’t work out in his favour this time. But I don’t blame the lad for trying. Go Demetrius Go!
