Bart Simpson/Mr.Burns
Sometimes, when life imitates art, an otherwise lamentable situation can be transformed into something incongruously hilarious.
Case in point: A man named Bart Simpson, accused of carrying a prohibited firearm, was recently called to appear before a U.K. judge named Mr. Burns.
Simpson (full name Barton Simpson) was caught in possession of a revolver at Birmingham Airport last year, according to an earlier report by the Solihull Observer. The 56-year-old company director, who pleaded not guilty to the charge, stood trial this week in front of Judge Recorder Burns. No other details of the ongoing trial have been revealed.
"It's a bizarre coincidence that Bart Simpson is actually on trial in front of Mr Burnsbut it'll proceed as any other criminal case would," a court worker told the South West News Service. "There were some eyebrows raised when the court list was published."
