Kansas City lawyer tries to use client’s twin as body double in court
- Dorothy Savory’s plan was so close to working.
With just two weeks left in the year, Kansas City attorney Dorothy Savory has claimed the title for strangest courtroom stunt of the year. And to make it even more bizarre, there’s a Lisa Irwin connection. This shit is straight out of Matlock.
The Star reports that Savory was in court on Wednesday defending Darrel W. White Jr. during a hearing for a robbery charge. He allegedly snatched a purse. Circuit Judge Kenneth R. Garrett III called the case and asked Savory if her client was in custody. She said White was in the courtroom, and Garrett asked “Mr. White” to come forward. But the guy sitting next to Savory in court wasn’t Darrel White but his twin brother, Darion.
Meanwhile, outside the courtroom, the police officer who arrested Darrel White for stealing the purse was waiting to testify. And who did he see get off the elevator? The real Darrel White! As the officer was putting the pieces together outside the courtroom, the robbery victim was on the stand and pointed to Darion White as the man who robbed her.
Then the officer told court officials, and Savory’s stunt was found out.
