An Ohio criminal trial was halted yesterday when the defendant emptied the contents of his colostomy bag out on a courtroom table and began eating it.

66 year old James Orr is on trial for kidnapping and robbery, during a witness testimony yesterday he asked his defence lawyer if he had anything to eat. The shocked lawyer replied that he didn’t, but Orr insisted he was hungry.

He then produced his colostomy bag and placed it on the table, as horrified court officials looked on Orr proceeded to squeeze faeces out of the bag and began eating it with his fingers.

The sheriff’s deputy who was on duty handcuffed Orr and led him back to his holding cell. The judge then ruled that the courtroom was a biohazard and postponed the trial for cleaning to be undertaken. The deputy later reported that Orr had faeces on his lips, in his beard and on his fingers.

Hamilton County prosecutor David Prem told Cincinnati News that he almost vomited when he saw what Orr was doing. He also stated that Orr was a conman had been trying to escape justice by pretending to be mentally ill.

“He’s a con man. He has over 50 aliases and has convictions in Ohio and New York for thefts and robberies,” Prem said.

“He’s done just about everything a person can do to avoid justice. He feigned (mental) incompetence. I’m completely convinced his whole goal here is to cause as much mayhem as he can,”

Orr is accused of kidnapping a woman from a Chinese restaurant at gunpoint and forcing her to go to a cash machine and draw out $1,000.

The trial will continue next week, if convicted Orr could face up to 60 years in jail.
