Because you can't make this stuff up
Lots of details in those 7,000 pages of grand jury testimony in the Theo Lacy jail beating, where deputies watched TV, played video games and took naps while on duty. This exchange on TV viewing habits comes from the Aug. 30 testimony of Deputy Jason Chapluk, who was on duty the night inmate John Derek Chamberlain was beaten to death.
Q: WELL, DEPUTY TAYLOR LIKES I LOVE LUCY?
A: NO, NOT REALLY. I DON'T RECALL HIM EVER WATCHING I LOVE LUCY.
Q: WHAT SHOWS WOULD HE WATCH?
A: I MEAN THERE'S NOT MUCH ON DAYTIME TV. GENERALLY IT WOULDN'T BE WATCHED ALL THAT MUCH.
Q: OPRAH WAS OVER, DR. PHIL?
A: COPS WAS.
Q: YOU GUYS ARE WATCHING COPS?
A: COPS IS ALWAYS A FAVORITE.
Q: THE TASER SCENE --
A: TASER -- THERE'S ONE CALLED TASED AND CONFUSED OF COPS, IT'S PRETTY GOOD.
Turns out deputies lied to the grand jury. Think they were actually watching these cops instead?
