He didn't. If you look at the panels, as the judge is telling the Joker to behave you can see the medical alert bracelet on his wrist with the Joker explictly noticing it and narrowing his eyes evilly.
Then he tells the guards that he's sorry for acting up, that he is doing it because he has low blood sugar. But if they get him something it'll make him behave.
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.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
