Facts hard to come by in Supreme Court kerfuffle

A couple of readers have commented as to Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser's height, further to his colleague Mike Gableman's description of Prosser relative to Justice Ann Walsh Bradley: "Gableman believes Justice Bradley is a little bit taller than Justice Prosser."

To wit:
I can say with confidence there is absolutely no way Prosser is 5'9", regardless of how he describes himself. Probably 5'6".
And:
The truth is that Prosser is nowhere near 5'9". I'm 5'8", and he's a lot shorter than I am.
According to Prosser himself:
Detective: How tall are you, sir?
Prosser: Five-nine.
Detective: You're five-nine.
Prosser: Yeah.
For the record (the question is at 1:02:23).*

Don't most people know how tall they are?

    For crying out loud, measure the little twit when he's not hunched over and then we have a fact.
