Honestly that drunk driving girl admitting to the crime is pretty mature of her.
drunk driving isn't tho
Yeah I was really impressed that she owned up to her mistakes, and seems genuinely determined to never repeat them. Especially considering the fact that her parents were probably furious with her for losing the case for them. She probably faced more consequences from the parents for telling the truth than they gave her for driving drunk and hurting someone in the first place. And I reckon she knew that her parents would hate her for it and told the truth anyway, and even apologized for her parents behavior even though she has no control over their actions. It sounds like this girl has courage and a strong sense of morality, and I hope she makes it through the rest of her teen years in that household with those qualities intact. She's the kind of person society needs, even considering the dumb mistakes she made as a teen. People that are capable of learning from their mistakes, as well as accepting responsibility for them, are invaluable.
@@Red_9mm and she learned that the hard way, and it horrified her. Teens do dumb things all the time, and when it's something serious like this they absolutely should be held accountable for them, but the fact that she's holding *HERSELF* accountable, especially at her age and considering the situation with her parents, is something else. It doesn't excuse what she did or make it better or anything, and she still needs to face the consequences. It's just that her demonstrating that she's willing to face those consequences, and that she understands she did a terrible thing, AND that she's determined to never do it again, well let's just say that I would be surprised to see an *adult* in this situation handle it like she did.
TL;DR: Yes punish her for drunk driving, but I think it's also important to acknowledge the courage, morality, and maturity she demonstrated in the aftermath.
@@recklessrex Thanks for the TL;DR, it's like 2:30-ish & I really should be asleep. Good on her though, not many full grown adults could even own up to their crap. She could really make something of herself when she's older. Have a great day, & stay safe out there. 🌟
Good kid, I have no doubt she will make something of herself.
My mom got rear-ended on a corner while stopping to check traffic before turning right. When the police arrived and asked what happened, my mom told her side and then the woman who hit her told hers. She claimed she "didn't see" my mom put on her turn signal. My mom insisted she did and the woman who hit her said "Well there was no way I could see that, I was too close to see it." My mom asked her to repeat that for the officer and she did. My mom won her multi-thousand dollar damages case easily.
Love the traffic light one. Judge outs cops for predatory behavior instead of doing something constructive for the situation. We need more of this.
Indeed they can be real assholes when trying to make stats
A whole county in Georgia got busted by the feds for this a couple years ago. From the cops to the judges, they were all complicit.
I once got a ticket for going 3 over on a divided highway, where people are typically known to go 10-15+ over. Officer didn’t even use a radar or laser. Case was dismissed due to lack of merit. 😀
pigs do shit like this and then wonder why people don't like them
The K9 one reminds me of a Gabriel Iglesias story. His tour bus is pulled over, and the police dog starts barking. Officer, to bus driver: "Sir, Our K9 has informed us that there are drugs on board." Bus driver: "Is that what he said? Goddamn Scooby Doo."
this gave me a good laugh.
YES. Thank you for this I love you
If you're the cop, you put the dog on the stand, and then call his handler as an interpreter for the language barrier.
If you're opposing counsel, on cross you point at the judge and tell the witness to "find it, boy!" and then the dog false alerts on the judge as trained.
Me: well Yeah
Alexa: im a wolf btw but yes i did tell him
@Caden Cummins Alexa: you'll figure it out
This happened with my teacher that was a lawyer.
-Sir, my client worked for you but you didnt pay him the overtime he did it.
-You are right, I didnt paid him, but I want to see you prove it!
His lawyer just put both hands on his head. The case was lost in less then 10 seconds.
REKCEP is this real?
@@paradox5434 Yes, it is.
Not the only weird case I hear of it in my time as a student.
I guess he missed the sound of barrister typing furiosly. Stupid silent computer keyboard....
That makes no sense.
You ask for confirmation the employee was there via camera, computer, etc. Then they check the boss’ computer/bank records to confirm there was no check ever printed/withdrawn. If both things add up to “He worked, but wasn’t given a check,” the employee wins. In this case, his lawyer was purely incompetent.
Keep in mind, when you’ve been accused and brought into court, “warrants” are nearly pointless as the judge will issue one simply to see.
@@wrije The thing is that there was no credible records to show.
The records where clean. All it had it was the word of both of them (it was a really small bussiness. By law they dont need to foolow more strict control in order to boost the creation of new bussinesses) and since it was just overtime, he was being paid regularly. But the extra work wasnt.
that girl who admitted that she was drunken driving is my favorite for sure like damn sure she made a mistake that could’ve been so much eorse but she still knew it was wrong and owned up to it
3:40 for anyone who doesn’t understand: if he was telling the truth, the car he was passing was speeding and he was going even faster.
K9 called to the stand. "Yer honour, permission to pet the witness?"
Lmao
@Rohit Binu I have no more questions. Mr. Rocky, you can return to your seat.
3 hours later, everyone in the room has pet the witness, and the trial can continue.
"We the jury have come to a conclusion and that is Mr Rocky is a goodest boy"
@@kos2919 Judge: I agree... What about the charges?
a while back i was charged with some very serious stuff that had me very nervous until my lawyer found that the local PD and prosecutor had actively tried to hide video that showed my complete innocence.... ever since then i’ve been very skeptical of anything i read/see in the news.....
If it is not a problem I would like to know more about the story and how you discoverd about the video
Not surprised to be honest. Media can be corrupted, and not only that, half the time shit has been blown way out of proportion or covered up.
Philthy Tanks - This is why I only trust my county paper.
Good for you.
The news is mostly fake money begging bullshit.
This is exactly why I always tell everyone that a Prosecutor with a 100% conviction rate is a horrible failure of a public servant. Everyone who comes before a court of a crime isn't guilty so if the DA has a 100% rate then they are putting innocent people in prison to bolster their own career.
I had one of those moments in school.
Teacher: "One of you has done so-and-so forbidden thing."
Student: "It wasn't me!"
Teacher: "Why do you feel addressed?"
(I'm not sure if my English is correct here. The joke was that the student slipped up by denying the accusation despite not having been accused directly yet.)
"Well it was fookin' one of yas... DISGUSTANG!"
no, no, the English was just fine, you're fine
My former boss shorted my paycheck $500 after working a 72 hour week picking up after his mistakes, then attacked me when I argued with him to get the correct paycheck amount. I defended myself, stormed out and prepared to find a lawyer.
Apparently he called the police. I spent 3 days in jail because the magistrate was gone for the weekend and this had happened on a Friday.
At court he brought forth his witness: his front desk clerk who witnessed the entire thing.
Her words were, "Well when Boss went after CaptainJaws, that's when CaptainJaws stood up out of his chair."
The judge interrupted her, "Wait, CaptainJaws was sitting down when the altercation started? How could he have been the aggressor, then? Case dismissed."
Nice.
So, not only did he short you, he attacked you, and you were detained? I’m not a lawyer, but it seems to me that you should have gotten some serious compensation for that.

Had a friend arrested and charged with unlawful possession of a firearm (his shotgun licence had expired and he had forgotten to post in his renewal). Police came in, he was polite, calm, offered tea (in the UK), before they took him away to the police station. All quiet calm and polite, and released later where he then updated his paperwork.
Several weeks later, had to go to trial at the local magistrate court. First point: “your honour, are the police not supposed to read your rights when arresting you?”
Police scrambled through their notes and facepalms.
Case dismissed for procedural violation.
Also, very very careful never to put a step wrong for a long time as not to have an excuse for the loca police department to throw the book at him 🙃
You live in the UK. Your police aren't departmentalised lol.
The police aren't required to read you your rights when arresting you in the UK. I'm not saying your story is false, but you must at the very least be misremembering the technicality. They are required to *explain* you your rights when you're in *custody,* though. Maybe that was the omission?
God, just the phrase "unlawful possession of a firearm" pisses me off. The only gun control should be firearm safety. Good for your friend, give him a french kiss next time you see him for me.
@@DissectingThoughts I was thinking UK law must be different than US law (I studied to be a paralegal in the US). Thanks for confirming that the way what we would call "Miranda" protections work the same way in the UK.
@@tbonbrad Lack of gun control is why only USA has school shootings as a norm, while other contries have it once in a decade or never.
When Manfred von Karma suggested Phoenix Wright should cross-examine the witness’s pet parrot.
For a guy whose name is Karma he was aptly named
reminds me of a TRUE story where a police dog was put on the stand...
A parrot was put in witness protection because it testified against a mob boss. real case.
Love the Ace Attorney reference.
Von Karma, no!
I was a juror in a shaken baby case once, and the prosecution's entire case hinged on the fact that the baby lost consciousness during its first day at home alone with the father, and so the father must have shaken the baby to death. During the prosecution's case, a medical examiner testified that the baby's injuries could only have been caused by someone holding the baby EXTREMELY tightly and shaking it violently . . . she then added that many of the injuries were consistent with 2-5 days of healing. That COMPLETELY blew the prosecution's case, as it established that someone ELSE could have been responsible for the baby's injuries. There was no evidence that the fatal injuries had actually occurred DURING the 8 hours or so that the baby was alone with the father, AND the ME actually testified that at least some of the worst injuries were from before that. Prosecution created reasonable doubt all by themselves. I don't even recall what the defense's testimony was because it didn't matter at that point.
My dad once fought a traffic ticket for failing to stop at a stop sign. This was in a rural area the house to the right had an orange tree that hid the sign from view. My dad had stopped at the line then rolled around the corner checking the traffic to the left which had a similar issue. Because he stopped once he didn't stop again upon seeing the road was clear to make his right turn. Until my dad's case no tickets were tossed. But he submitted photos of the corner and judge questioned the officer who admitted that he could not have seen the line where my dad had stopped at the distance he indicated in the report. He was successful at having the ticket tossed.
My ex-wife and her father filed restraining orders against me after he tried (and failed) to pick a fist fight with me. Him pushing 70, me a 34 year old infantry veteran with two deployments to Iraq.
We get to the trial, and their case was laughably bad. Their errors included (TL;DR, it was bad):
-ex mother in law insisting that my son could reach into my desk drawer, pick up, load, and fire an M1911 just 10 days after he was born.
-ex mother in law literally screaming at the court for laughing at her when she insisted "magazines" as they pertain to guns are "paper booklets with articles and pictures in them".
-ex mother in law saying I was a horrible house guest because while I was at Disneyland with my (now ex) wife (at ex's insistence because she had and still has an unhealthy obsession with Mickey Mouse), she'd shoved one of our dogs into a lamp, breaking it.
-ex mother in law (and ex father in law) claiming I'd left my wife alone with the kids "just a week after her C-section" because 30 minutes after I'd left the house, the two of them left her with the kids so they could go sight seeing.
-opposing lawyer attempting to prove that I was a dangerous driver because I had been at fault in an accident (in which I'd been travelling at fewer than 5 mph) twelve years previous and had racked up 4 speeding tickets over the 18 years I'd been driving.
-opposing lawyer admitting she'd had no intention of mentioning the accident had been 12 years previous.
-opposing lawyer bringing up an incident in which the police were called on my (now ex) wife by a third party because she was assaulting me, and trying to spin it as though it were my fault (despite the police report and half a dozen witnesses saying otherwise).
-opposing lawyer trying to get my best friend (and fellow veteran) to say that I should have my 2nd Amendment rights repealed because I'm a combat veteran.
-ex father in law saying he knew I was "dangerous" because he'd followed me around for two weeks.
-ex father in law saying he knew I was going to fight him because he'd seen lots of people get into fights during his 40 years as a longshoreman and 40 years as a teamster (again, pushing but not quite 70 years old).
-ex father in law saying he'd seen my guns in the house that night and refusing to change his testimony after being shown federal documents stating the guns had been shipped to my father in Illinois (this happened in Oregon) three days prior.
-ex father in law saying that he couldn't understand why I'd said he needed to mind his own business.
-ex father in law following this up by calling me an idiot for not handling my finances the way he handled his (he was 6 figures in debt at the time).
-ex father in law saying he also knew I was dangerous because my ex wife had hacked my Facebook and showed him the messages I'd sent to my friend venting about what an asshole the guy was, which he was shocked to learn because I'd always been polite to him- almost as if I was making an effort to get along with my wife's parents despite their bad behavior.
-ex father in law denying he has a clearly visible scar on his forearm (from where his wife sliced it open with a kitchen knife during an argument) because he couldn't come up with a decent story for where it came from.
-ex wife demanding the entirety of my VA disability because she had no income due to her inability to get hired after walking on her $50k a year teaching contract.
-ex wife saying that I was a loser because I was still working on my bachelor's at the time (now have completed an MA), and would never make as much money as her.
-ex wife saying that I owed her child support because my VA disability meant I could potentially make more than her.
-ex wife and her parents claiming I'd molested my son during a facetime session with them by doing something that would have required a minimum of five hands to accomplish.
-ex wife saying I was an unfit father because I would take naps while my kids took naps (baby monitor on).
-ex wife accusing me of raping her because one time mid-coitus she changed her mind about having sex. I stopped immediately and left the room, but was visibly irritated about it, and it "scared" her.
-ex wife claiming I was plotting to kill her because one time I looked into the room she was in while she was taking a nap to see if she was still asleep.
-ex wife claiming I was abusive because one time she punched me, and she was afraid I would punch her back (but didn't).
-ex wife accusing me of having sex with a woman in New Zealand (I've never been there, the woman has never left her island).
-ex wife accusing me of trying to isolate her from her family because we hadn't been able to afford to send her to visit Disneyland in the first year and a half that we lived in Oregon.
-ex wife saying there was nothing wrong with the fact that I hadn't been able to visit my family in Illinois for more than four years.
-ex wife's witness accusing me of "forgetting" my week-old second child in her store because I didn't have enough hands to carry the purchases, my son, and the child at one time, and asked her to watch the child while I handled the rest and came back for her.
-ex wife's other witness describing in graphic detail the incident where the police were called, only to then admit under cross examination that she hadn't actually been present and had only ever heard my ex-wife's side of the story.
-ex wife's therapist echoing my ex-wife's description of our relationship, saying what a horrible person I was, then having to admit she'd never actually met or spoken to me and had no knowledge of the aforementioned police report.
I was a witness for the defense once and proved the prosecutions case for them.
Another Marine and I were in town to do laundry and have a couple of beers. We loaded our laundry and went across the street towards the bar.
Cop pulled us over and was giving us a warning about jaywalking. Literally hadn't even reached for his booklet. Dumb Marine I was with launched into a recitation of all the things the cop could be doing with his time, like catching real criminals, that I could see the cop getting annoyed. Dumb Marine went on a seven minute rant (Thank you Casio Triathlon for keeping time of that) before I turned to the cop and asked for the ticket and thanked him for his time.
I went into town the next day and paid my fine. Dumb Marine actually fought his and called me as a witness. The judge laughed, the prosecutor laughed, and I was warned about my language a couple of times.
Cop got lauded for his professionalism for keeping cool in the face of stupidity, I got paid $50 for loss of time, Dumb Marine had to pay the $75 fine, $150 court fee, and 100 hours of community service on weekends to be determined when they could speak with the SJA.
I live in a duplex that is nonsmoking and is very strict about it.
My wife has asthma so this rule is so important to use.
Our neighbor had been smoking nonstop marijuana and had been made it so bad for my wife that she nearly had to go to the hospital. She even stayed at a friends house for several days.
Landlord evicted the neighbor and we were taken to court to fight the eviction.
I make the remark that I see my neighbor exit her car and smoke floods out of the doors.
I'm a car guy, so I know my cars and I have darn good memory.
The defendants attorney brought me to the stand and asked "you say you saw her car. But how do you know it was hers? What car does she drive?"
I blurted out her license plate number, the model and make of the car she drives and even its year.
I was correct on all accounts and we won the case.
The face the attorney made was priceless. As soon as I opened my mouth he knew he lost and his face showed. It was hilarious.
Before I watch, the question reminds me of a Judge Judy case where the plaintiff had her purse stolen and some stuff out of it. The defendants were two guys and when the plaintiff was rattling off the contents of said purse, one of the guys said “(item) wasn’t in the purse.” Instant win for plaintiff.
It was in-ear headphones
i just remembered a story in a book:
-lawyer to witness: "and are the two men who committed this crime in the courtroom now?"
-the defendants RAISE THEIR HANDS!
everyone laughs, the lawyer says "let the record show that they just confessed."
17:09 "I would like to cross-examine the witness's -pet parrot- K9 unit!"

My son in custody court claimed their child's mother was planning on moving out of state if she got custody
She said it wasn't true. He showed her FB posts to prove it.
When the judge asked, "are you planning on moving out of state?"
She said, "Well, not right away." My son got custody
Your son got lucky.
My ex said she was going to kill our twins, if she got custody.
they gave her a supervised visit, where she tried to feed them peanutbutter flavored rat poison, right in front of the caseworker.
they still considered giving her full custody after that.
I had met someone else, and we were dating, and the judge said she couldnt 'in good conscience' let a single father raise two young children.
Even though i had been raising them alone, with no financial help, for the last 6 years.
Married my then girlfriend. We were together as a married couple for 4 years. We are still great friends, but we made a terrible couple.
@@dreamwolf7302 Lucky? I guess
There was a whole lot more involved with it, he fought for 2 years
Smartest thing he did was let her come in with a lawyer, asked the judge to postpone the case, got a lawyer also, but she had to pay for his because she "forced him to get council"
@@UnscrupulousAgitator Based on my own experience, fighting the courts for 7 years, having my name slandered, and my face put on the local news as a sexual assaulter and possible child molester (she reported the twins as having been 'taken' by me, despite my having primary custody) i would say your son had the easier time of it, compared to many dads who have to fight for their kids.
Not that it was 'easy' but certainly easier than many of us have it.
I know one guy, 15 years hes been fighting for custody. Last time the court gave his ex wife an unsupervised visit, she fled to Turkey with the kid, as in the country.
@@dreamwolf7302 I'm so very sorry for your situation and sympathetic with other fathers going through it.
Courts and people need to catch up with how society is now.
Men have been robbed of their children for too long. Accused of every horrible thing imaginable. Yet no complaints until the custody battle?
I think he did have it easier than most, but not as easy as some.
Whatever the case, he is just grateful to be full-time in his daughter's life.
I wish you all the best
@@UnscrupulousAgitator I wish your son a long and happy relationship with his daughter.

24:12 He obviously misunderstood the question as "Are you unwell?", instead of "Were you unwell?", because he said "I'm fit as a fiddle", instead of "I was fit as a fiddle".

My favorite ones are when the defendant and attorney have mountains of evidence, but the opposition contradicts themselves _and_ the evidence. Just... wow.
When a lawyer gives up financial gain to obey the law I’m elated. The job of a defense attorney is to debate that the defendant is innocent or get the sentence reduced. The job of a prosecutor is much the same but the reverse, they work hard to prove guilt. The thing they have most in common is that they both should cooperate and try to work together because if they don’t one side has an unfair advantage.
That's why the process of discovery exists

I have respect for the teenager who told the truth about driving super drunk, apologized for her parents and stopped drinking. How many drunk drivers does that..?
I doubt she did. I recently worked side by side with a younger female who constantly texted and drove, and never wore her belt. She also had her truck illegally modified (Lift with a stance kit, and no extended fender flares to prevent water kickup), and she admitted to me that she's had multiple tickets in the past for all of it.
Her parents just pay the ticket and she goes on her way, ignoring that it happened.

"Lawyers of Reddit..." "I am not a Lawyer"
Who cares. The stories are relevant, being a lawyer doesn't add anything to it, you just have to witness the trial.
Lernos Rotosch unless the title is talking about lawyers themselves, not people who have seen a trial.
@@deadeyexl8392 So what? OP is asking lawyers specifically because why? They want to tease their ego by only accepting stories from lawyers? I'm fairly certain that even OP didn't care, they just wanted to hear stories about court cases where one of the sides proved itself wrong, so they wrote "lawyers of Reddit" either to simplify matters or because they didn't think there could be other people witnessing the same thing - a judge, for example.

That m’achète one was the exact opposite of that famous case where the lawyer defending an alleged murderer accidentally shot himself trying to show how the victim could have easily shot himself. He died. But he won.
The person claiming that the radar accidentally picked up the "speeding" car that they'd been OVERTAKING is one of the most amazingly stupid arguments I've ever heard.

I'm gonna say the two Katherine's being crack dealer case wasnt really an easy win, as it's pretty clear defendant wasnt going to deny it anyways. She either was about to plead guilty or no contest, which is basically no different. Sorry dude...but you didnt have a case to begin with.
I'm pretty sure the point was the crack dealer Katherine convicted herself just because her name was similar to a prostitiute. If she didn't say anything, there was still a chance se would be found not guilty.

Not a lawyer or a court case (yet), but a woman claiming that our laundromat dryers were faulty and set her clothes on fire started showing me the remains, of which only the "Line Dry Only" , "Dry Clean Only" and "Cool Iron Only" tags and labels had survived destruction.

Coworker of mine got his car totaled by a truck driving Karen who cut him off. Like, she slammed into him while cutting him off, pretty much destroying the engine. She goes off on him in the parking lot of a Circle K gas station (where it happened). Wanting him to pay her right there, threatening legal action, screaming she'll call the cops. Coworker says "okay, call the cops." Cops get there, Karen does her Karen thing of usual screaming. Coworker just tells the cops what happened and to check the cameras of the Circle K. Cops agree, disappear into the Circle K for fifteen minutes. Come back out and hand the Karen the ticket, writing the report, saying she's at fault. Karen goes nuclear, screaming in their faces that she's innocent. Cops tell her that they have the evidence that she's in the wrong, and to take the ticket, or else. She takes it, screams again, gives insurance information to Coworker (at cops request), and hauls out of the gas station, STILL screaming.
1:10 I'd wager that deputy committed a brilliant piece of perjury.
It's amazing to me how many DA's waste the taxpayer's money on stupid cases they cannot win. Both times I have served jury duty, the cases were stupid and the defense won. And the police in both cases did not do their jobs, which pissed me off.
It's unbelievably common.
My friend Ken, who's not a lawyer but works with a lawyer, was sent to investigate a collision . Ken's client was accused of crossing the centerline while DUI and hitting another car head-on, resulting in the death of the driver, his wife, and their two children. Ken took pictures which clearly showed how the impact had gouged out a section of pavement. This agreed with the DA's findings, except for one thing. The gouge was on Ken's client's side. The DA had to admit that he had gotten East and West mixed up, and it was actually the other driver who had crossed the line. The father's body was then tested for BAC, and it was three times the legal limit.

That sucks about the guys who lost his chickens, yeah they're not pets suited to apartments, but imagine hearing your pets are being sent to slaughter.
The drunk driving teen admitting fault AND throwing her parents under the bus AND going teetotaler means that girl has some integrity that she happened upon on her own (She obviously didn't get it from her parents).
I've known a couple of recovered alcoholics, one of my best friends hasn't touched a drop for over 30 years now (He's in his late 50's or early 60's), and the way he put it, either an alcoholic will have an "Oh shit" moment and quit without a second thought, or they'll drink till the day they die and keep blaming the world for the consequences of alcoholism.
My cousin's fiancée is one of the latter, sadly, but it's my cousin's life she's gonna ruin by accepting an alcoholic and drug abuser into her life and bed.
that one at 6:50 about that man's chickens is heart breaking.
To be fair if you meet a girl in a bar you expect that they're 21 because you know, why are you at a bar if not to drink?
Fair. But since he had already perjured himself by claiming he never saw her, the claim of the bar is also suspect.
He argued that he believed she was 16. I think this case may have taken place in the UK? Their minimum age to enter a pub unaccompanied is lower, and sometimes younger minors may enter if accompanied as well.
Guy: prepares his entire life for a case on defending himself
the company trying to terminate him: yeah so we are basically going to give you the free win
Drinking game.
Take a shot every time the word “records” is mentioned in the first story.
22:39 - How the heck did this employee’s attorney even get admitted to the bar? Did he steal his brother’s BBO number or something?? 😂😂😂😂
19:43 ah, I see what you did there
My family has been forced to represent ourselves repeatedly. It isn't hard. The hard part is in filings and motions which require or benefit from formal education.
In my case the judge denied me a lawyer. Yes I won on appeal. Yes they then stole 1k from me and my lawyer flabbergasted said I could pay him 5k to get my 1k back or just take the loss. Then a lawyer I hired to sue stole all my evidence including proof they tampered with the jury.
Joke published in a pre-civil war newspaper.
Keep that in mind before flaming.
During a lawsuit, the one witness presented in the case was an uneducated farm hand.
The judge, knowing the man had no schooling asked him "Son, this is a court of law, do you know what that means?"
The farmhand responds "Yassuh, it means I's supposed to tell de troof."
So the judge asks him, "Son, do you know what will happen if you don't tell the truth?"
The farmhand responds, "Well sah, if'n I doesn't tell de troof, I 'Spects my side'll win de case."
Politically incorrect, but amusing.
Found that in a binder of pre-civil war newspapers at my local library.
-tons of midroll ads
-cut off his own outro
Nah
Top tip skip till the end of the video and allow autoplay to start, then start the video again. Bye bye midroll ads
So many of these would make great Ace Attorney cases
"she can't read no good"
Seems you can't write too good either...
I love the local ads they put on here,,,,Park .....& Assoc.. "Injury Lawyers you can trust" how appropriate
Final Story, You gotta love it when the Cop that is Causing this case has not filed his report so you wonder HOW IN THE HELL they would believe him on ONLY his memory.
You are not a clown, you are the entire circus!
Stop this libel against clown, you... something insulting!
Only a clown would know where the circus is.
Not a lawyer, but my daughter’s dad’s friend’s grandma’s aunt’s cousin’s nephew’s niece’s girlfriend…
I watched a court case on tv where a girl laughed at the judge and addmited to everything and every like 5 secounds the judge said “ there seems to be more evidence here”
Judge: 'You almost won insurance money due to your supposed "freak machete accident", but the plan failed.
What did it cost?'
Self-Mutilating Idiot: 'Everything (on my hand above the knuckles).'
"You're getting really technical about the forces involved in this accident. Are you an engineer?"
"Yes, actually!"
Remember, kids, never ask a question in examination that you don't already know the answer to.
I wonder if a few of these may have been a lawyer intentionally doing a bad job because he knew his client was trying to screw over an innocent party or otherwise did not deserve to win on moral grounds.
When the prosecution in the George Floyd case had their own witness say it could have been an overdose and provided all the reasonable doubt needed.

2:25 I thought previous criminal charges weren’t admissible evidence in court
The woman that answered his dong was 15" was a genius. She doesn't care if he's guilty or not, she just wants him convicted. She said that, knowing that NO man would ever deny having that size, and was guaranteed a conviction.
the a couple of those stories proves the old legal axiom "he who represents himself in court has a fool for a client"
Confucius say,
'Man who defends self in court has idiot for lawyer.'
I think of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. The prosecutor proved Kyle was innocent.
8:21 ok lol that's actually just Ace Attorney in real life now
About the last case, OP should go to law school.
10:02 Your dad is basically a rocket surgeon.
That tax fraud thing isn't a proved by case moment? It proved a different case but it does not mean he wasn't owed back wages. Besides that, the company also would have under-reported what they paid him.
16:15 this story is odd. The kid could be called stupid, etc, but in all reality, she acted more honorable than her parents, by admitting what she did in court, she actually told the f*cking truth, which from a lawyer/judge perspective is wild, rare, and insane, but he says "how did the apple roll soo far away from the tree?", I think she's a better apple than the bunch she came from if she was willing to admit it right in court instead of lying and acting like her parents.
Tl;DR: Conflicted with this story, it's stupid, but also honorable in a way, her parents wanted to hide it and sweep it under a rug, she was blatantly honest.
He may have been a dope but I feel really bad for chicken man and his poor chickens.
You're laughing, his pet chickens were sent to slaughter and you're laughing?
And here I thought defending an Orca was the most insane story one would hear from lawyers
15 inches....
