WOIO Action News 19: Puppet Court Covers Jimmy Dimora Trial

News cameras are not allowed in the courtroom during the corruption trial of former Cuyahoga County Commissioner Jimmy Dimora, so WOIO Action News 19, out of Akron, Ohio, has found a cheeky workaround: Puppets.

Using courtroom transcripts, Action News 19 is re-enacting the Jimmy Dimora trial with puppets. Puppets with silly voices. Welcome to... The Puppet's Court.

Yes, this is real; it is also far more entertaining than Crank Yankers, especially when the courtroom transcript references "getting herpes from a hooker in Vegas".
