Sean Avery represents himself in court, insults a reporters and defies the judge!

Here he is again and this time, he has us shaking our heads off the ice. Earlier this week, we reported how Sean Avery keeps playing for amateur leagues and went viral as a video of Avery in action during a random minor-league hockey game revealed how he remains the biggest jerk on the ice.

Today, it’s in court that he’s been hinted at being a jerk when he showed up at the Manhattan Criminal Court. According to the New York Times, the former Rangers forward chose to represent himself in court on Thursday on a misdemeanor charge.

His appointed lawyer left the courtroom as Avery said:

“I’d like to move forward by representing myself,” he said.

The judge, John Zhuo Wang, pointed out, by asking a number of questions, that Mr. Avery had no legal experience and advised him against doing so. Mr. Avery, 42, who wore a black T-shirt and kept his sunglasses on throughout the appearance, stood firm.

And then Avery requested a jury trial, possibly banking on his fame to get a lesser punishment. That’s because Avery refused a plea deal, still per the Times:

“The misdemeanor with which Mr. Avery has been charged carries a relatively light penalty, and Mr. Avery said that prosecutors had already offered him plea deals that would involve a modest fine. But accepting the most recent deal offered would have required Mr. Avery to plead guilty, pay a fine and attend an anger management program, and he was apparently unwilling to accept those terms. (When asked for comment before his appearance, he declined, then insulted a reporter and asked that the reporter be removed from the courtroom.)”

When his demand for a jury trial was denied - and Avery kept asking for it - the judge finally told him he was not entitled to a jury trial, and asked if he wanted to delay a bench trial to another date. Avery answered that the earliest he would be available would be the first Monday after Labor Day.

“I have a job sir. I live in California,” Mr. Avery said, adding, “I don’t just get on the subway to come here.”

The judge however set a trial for May 23., to which Avery objected again. His luck ran out: if he did not appear on the appointed day, a warrant would be issued for his arrest.

Avery is the same on and off the ice…
