Funniest thing I've read all week

[Fletch]

Prosecutor Asks That She Not Be Called 'the Government' Because the Term Is 'Derogatory' - Hit & Run : Reason.com

Defense counsel's response is hilarious.

 

[Arm America]

if the shoe fits...........

 

[Rhoadmar]

The defense counsel's request in his response wanting to be called Captain Justice was brilliant. I wonder if he gets a cape to were with that title.

 

[Baditude]

The defense attorney deserves a raise

 

[88GT]

"Guardian of the Realm" Love it.

 

[Rookie]

I have to hand it to the defense attorney for his way of handling it. My response would not have been so eloquent and tongue in cheek.

"You're the dumbest person I've ever met."

See? Not near as funny.

 

[Blackhawk2001]

How does one derive the title "General" from "Assistant Attorney General?" One would think that the ability to parse terms correctly would be a prerequisite for lawyerin' . . .

I'm going to refer to Kirk as "captain justice" from this day forward.

 

[MisterChester]

If they were "captain justice" wouldn't they need to be blind? Just saying...

 

[Rookie]

Did anyone actually read the real response? The end is the best...

"wherefore, captain justice, defender of the realm, and leader of the resistance..."

He even used case law in his arguments.

This could have been a good response:

Printing the motion and response to give to the wife now.

 

[SeaCaptain49]

"Captain Justice" LOL!

 

[RockofStrength]

That, ladies and gentlemen, is how you point out stupidity.

I would go through every hurdle to become a defense attorney if I could put "Captain Justice, Def. of Realm, and Defender of the Innocent, RockofStrength" on my business cards.

 

[hookedonjeep]

Outstanding!

A Judge used that exact exchange to call a lawyer an idiot. Link below, make sure to read the footnote on page two.
