  1. eish, you’re using an actual, sitting government judge to play a judge in your skit and not an actor? i hope he’s not presiding over any cashgate cases. when a real case comes up in court, the accused will simply say “your judgement on my cashgating will be biased and has already been made as evidenced by what you ruled in the manganya movie!” duh.
