    Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

      This is a play on words. If Jimmy had a court "recognize" his client then he'd have to have confirmed the identification.
      This actually happened in a real court battle and the issue the lawyer ran into was that he misidentified his client to the court : which is a huuuuuuge no-no (on the level of perjury and destroying evidence).
      If the court had "recognized" him - the process of identifying the person directly and them having to respond - then Jimmy would have had to bring up his real client and the ruse would have been over m

    As long as the defendant is present in the courtroom, and not sworn in yet, the trial is valid. There's no specific rule about assigned seats.

When a case is called the accuser and defendant are identified by asking the names of those involved and what their involvement in the case is.

The cops immediately went to the house I'd walked past before I was jumped, I identified the guy at a party in the back garden and he was arrested. The defendant grew a light beard and at the trial when I was asked by his defending lawyer if I noticed anything different about my assailant I said no. The lawyer jumped up and down and claimed therefore it couldn't possibly be him. The judge didn't buy it and he was convicted anyway.

    Can we for a minute appreciate how well the director of photography did on this scene?
    I understand depth of field and focal depth but this scene uses it in such a clever and subtle way. The fake defendent is sitting in his position but is just out of focus. We see him there but with no detail, the same way the witness sees him. When the truth is revealed the focal depth changes and plays a part in that revelation.
    It's a good technique for this scene and it goes a long way with little attention drawn to it until necessary.

      @steven sutherland I know nothing about law, but logically thinking, the defense and prosecution must have an equal playing field, or else the trial would be as good as rigged in one side's favor. For example, new evidences cannot be introduced mid-trial because you're introducing key items that *you* have full knowledge of, but the other party *doesn't*, and the court has no time to verify its authenticity. Setting up the trick in the video means that for most of the trial you intentionally withheld vital knowledge from everyone else in the room, not to mention that you are jeopardizing the mutually agreed facts in the trial - the prosecution in this case would expect to at the very least be able to agree on where the defendant, defense and prosecution are sitting and who they are.

      This was almost attempted, but not the exact same way. A lawyer named David Kenner who represented Snoop dogg in a murder trial had a witness to the shooting. The witness, was confused between snoop dogg who was actually there and the famous Dr Dre. He was essentially calling Snoop Dogg, Dr Dre. The lawyer attempted to manipulate the witness and he tried to bring Dr Dre into court, but Dre wasn’t having any of it and he didn’t understand what the lawyer was trying to do, fearing he might be implicated in a murder. But David had the same idea as Saul, to give the jury doubt as that’s what you’re ultimately trying to do as a defence lawyer. Sway the jury.
