scans_dailyThe next issue begins at the funeral of Holly Shancoe, the wife of a policeman who the Joker's talked into committing suicide. Where Detective Shancoe's best friend is talking to Lt. Jim Gordon, where the friend reveals that Shancoe has fallen off the wagon and is back on the booze. They show frustration that they had to let the Joker have his phonecall, due to it being the Joker's right.
Later, the Joker is being transported to the courthouse, when he steals a pen from one of the guards, stabs him in the jugular and somehow manages to hijack the prisoner van (the other guy is a rookie that the Joker ties up). Mr J then starts driving through the city trying to run over folk, but the timely intervention of Batman landing on the van and using his cables to launch people out of the way of the truck prevent the Joker from running over anyone.
The other guard IS killed though, when he ended up being thrown through the windscreen when the Joker to a violent stop in front of the courthouse he was due to appear at anyway, right in front of a stunned crowd of journalists in a pre-trial interview with Harvey Dent.
Now for the actual trial. It begins with the Joker entering his plea,
Up Next: Is the Joker Crazy? Experts give their opinion!

Date: 2011-05-20 11:22 am (UTC)The weird thing is that standard protocol for the Joker doesn't involve locking him down like he's as dangerous as Doomsday whenever he's in Arkham. Letting him be able to *talk* is dangerous, let alone allowing him to be able to move any of his extremities. Seeing things like this, as his starting point makes their containment procedures seem even more lax than normal.

It turns out what he asks for is a bag of peanuts, one of which he chucks in the guy'd water making him die in minutes.
I do know of people with an allegery to nuts that severe, and the fact that people can have that violent a reaction is WHY they put warnings on food that might even had trace elements of peanut in due to being made in the same factory as the stuff.
So that isn't as exaggerated as some people are saying.
My guess is that the guards didn't know about the judge's allergy, as food is rarely brought into a courtroom I wouldn't have thought that they'd have a reason to be told about it, so when he does have a reaction to it they're unable to help as they might not know what to do in that situation.
Or he doesn't have an epi-pen in court because, as I said, people don't normally bringfood in with them.
