Include today's public felony Trump committed, altering federal weather graphics. He can't alter (falsifying) federal paper work can he?
Has anyone violently reacted to the repos? Because I have some siblings from my fathers side that I hate so much that I would rather burn my property to the ground before letting them inherit it. Even if means burning the relatives who really don't care that a lot of money would fall into a deadbeat dad's wife and kids. But then again my family has three settings selfish sociopathy, blind hubris, or praise Jeebus. So I honestly hate everyone who hasn't died.

Palpatine referred to it as "Sanctuary Moon". Edit: in the novelization for ROTJ, Han also calls it Sanctuary Moon when they're trying to get past the super star destroyer.
@@mistorWhiskers and why would Palpatine care about that? Not to mention that also in the novelization, he ordered Jerjerrod to blow up the moon... (it was originally going to be in the movie too but it was cut- however, the Death Star can be seen facing the moon just as it's blowing up; it was originally facing away when the Rebel fleet showed up)
In South Park things happen pretty fast. In a single day, Wendy wrote a book, sold the movie rights for that book to James Cameron, and he in turn filmed and released the entirety of Avatar based on it.
This is why being judged by a "jury of my peers" scares the shit out of me. Often a catchy saying works better than any amount of reason and logical arguments. My peers are not that bright.
Doesn’t help that OJ’s were probably the dumbest jury they could’ve possibly selected. No critical thought. I could explain critical thought to them like I would to a 5-year-old with a sock puppet show called “Casey and their critical thought” and they still wouldn’t get it. An actual quote from Yolanda, a person who lowers your IQ from being within a mile of them, “are we supposed to sit here and talk about doubt?”
@@bradymenting5120lol people have always been stupid and easily manipulated by catchy phrases. just look at the o.j. simpson case, that was two years pre-social media and the jury let a clearly guilty man go free. this has been happening since the advent of jury trials. when you put a group of people who have absolutely no knowledge or experience with the law in a courtroom and ask them to make a legal decision, it will never be unbiased or based on pure legality. this is basic common sense man. social media didn’t come out of nowhere and suddenly create stupid people. it just gave them a platform to spread their stupidity to a much wider audience.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but reviewing this episode as a lawyer would be similar to a doctor reviewing the scene in South Park movie where they replace Kenny's heart with a baked potato
In fairness, Dr. Mike did review several medical scenes from the show; though, unfortunately, not that one from the movie. I wonder if he'd have recognized Clooney's voice.
i disagree. Not everyone is familiar with proper courtroom proceedings but everybody can predict what would happen to a doctor who botched a heart transplant with a baked potato.

I feel like this is good lawyering. We prove argument A is wrong, then prove why, even if argument A were right -which it’s not- it wouldn’t imply what our adversary claims. And even if it DID, there’s an exception to the case, which definitely applies. And even if it DIDN’T… etc., etc.
@@MarekillaBee The SPECIES being from Kashyyyk doesn't mean the family couldn't have moved. Even though they apparently didn't. I would say it's been too long since I watched the special but ... no. There's no such thing as "Too long since I saw the Star Wars Holiday Special."
Okay, supposed Matthew Stott, look at this Wookie (starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Chewbacca), his name is Chewbacca. Now why in the hell would I be showing you a Wookie in the middle of a comments section? EXACTLY! THAT MAKES NO SENSE! So, you must acquit if it makes no sense, and drop my client's so-called "conflict of interest" charges.
Actually you were right on the money with Chewbacca. He did not live on Endor, he was only there for the battle and then he was back to traveling around with Han.
The fact that you began your thoughts on the "Chewbacca Defense" by mentioning that Chewbacca does not live on Endor earned you my trust and convinced me to subscribe
It’s been shown in several EU novels, comics, and even ROTS that he lived on Kashyyyk (yes I know the episode came before ROTS and I’ll show up that by throwing in the dreaded Holiday Special). And of course there’s no denying what others pointed out that it was the forest *moon* of Endor they arrived on, not the actual planet itself.
Cane McBeardfacé I wouldn’t be surprised. Futurama is/was the most intelligent animated show made, some of their writers were actual scientists/engineers/doctors.
Apparently OJ was also off a heart medication or something that day, which would have caused swelling in his hands. This makes the "try on the glove" proof extra problematic in this case
Plus, the leather gloves possibly shrank after being covered in blood -- add all that up, and it made choosing to have him try the gloves on a terrible idea.
Can anyone tell me why it matters that the glove didn’t fit? Like what if those were the only gloves he could find or he purposely bought smaller ones.
@@Numbnuts007 Rebuttal: South Park showcases extreme stupidity. As such, it's not inconceivable that the record company would make the extremely stupid choice of persueing a open and shut case that could be settled in 15 days.
I also feel like the record company would have just jumped at the fact that Chef would have just wanted a credit writing the song rather than any monetary compensation.
@@ranelgallardo7031 "I see more African Americans and Hispanics as lawyers, at least down here in SE TX" No wonder SE TX has such a high incarceration rate.
Clearly the creators of South Park had not seen the Star Wars Holiday Special. Then they would have known that Chewbacca has a lovely treehouse on Kashyyk with his wife, son, and father.
Good point, but it's funny you say that - another early SP episode had "bumpers" based directly on the circulated tape recording of that very holiday special, when coming out of a commercial break!
Ok but we all have to agree that the lawyers did a great job at spreading reasonable all over the case… plus I think OJ is innocent I do think it was his son
Considering a potentially international audience which may in addition be even further removed from the original trial by even more time passing.. just seems like a fair thing to do
When I was a kid and I watched The Naked Gun for the first time, I think I vaguely knew OJ Simpson's name as some guy who was charged and acquitted for murder and that was all I knew about him. I didn't even know he was a football player, so for a few years I was under the impression that his fame came from acting. 😅 For context I was a kid in the 90s, I just never paid attention to football.
If only one would explain how launching an automobile into orbit around the sun is helpful to humanity is the only idea that might be better. One might wonder have many starving bellies could have been filled but no1cur.
I've always wanted to be part of a jury in some kind of crazy case, but the last time I was called into jury duty, after making it into the actual courtroom and taking attendance, we were told to go to lunch and come back after a few hours. After lunch, we returned only to find out that the case had been settled out of court over our lunch break.
Objection! No, actually your Chewbacca knowledge is spot on, aside from pronunciation of Kashyyyk, which isn't even a constant in-universe, so you're all good.
Maybe it's not consistent because of local dialect, witch would be even more likely then everyone saying 🍅 (vs me saying 2 Toe-ma-toe) lol you say 🍅 I say tomato
@@OBGrimey same here, but it's also pronounced "CASH-ik" elsewhere. Granted, star wars regularly waffles on how to pronounce Han and Alderaan so it's hardly the only point of contention.
Jeremy G UA-cam’s system is broken it should not be viewed as UA-cam committing the majority of those actions. It is not UA-cam claiming the videos, it is the people that own the rights to whatever song or think they do at least and they abuse the system constantly! People have attempted to sue for others filing false DMCA notices with UA-camrs
copyright* and you're mistaking what he said. he didn't say just because the same 2 seconds is in another song, he said the same lyric. You can pull exact lyrics from songs and use them in a completely different song as long as ALL the words aren't the same and the music itself is different. Something like 'smack my bitch up' you can include in your own original song where you say 'if dat hoe don't bring da dosh ima smack my bitch up'. The objection is that people can't sue over use of sampling of same words because language is common to all and only a direct composition of the same words in a long enough string would constitute infringement such as copying an entire verse or chorus or something. UA-cam also does not care about copyright law, they strike down infringing shit upon request and by content ID TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM BEING SUED as per DMCA law. A platform has the responsibility to prevent user uploads from infringing on copyright law or THEY can be sued so youtube takes a proactive and paranoid approach to protect themselves. Also, the idea of 'fair use' is a legal argument that must be challenged in court, you can't simply claim to youtube that your 2 seconds of a song is not infringing because it's fair use, you would have to take the copyright holder to court and prove it in a court of law and only then would youtube reverse the decision.
honestly Johnny Cocheran with the hand thing, was pretty genius, immoral sure, but he took a thing that the other team was focusing heavily on, and he effectively used it against them
So I asked this lawyer how I could support his channel, and he said “I’m gonna need about tree fiddy.” It was at that point I realized this Legal Eagle was actually a 30ft tall crustacean from the Paleozoic era.
You mean a plesiosaur from the paleolithic era, which doesn't even make sense since the paleolithic was the stone age and dinosaurs had long since been dead for millions of years.
"a record company above the law? I've never heard anything like that" well we're like 20 seconds in and you've already thrown so much shade i can't see the screen anymore
I feel like a modern prosecutor would find the exact glove manufacturer and size and have them try that glove on, with no latex, and also call them out for artificially spreading out their fingers in an attempt to pretend it didn't fit. But as a modern criminal, I'd bring a glove way too small for me, to leave at the scene. Hindsight is 20/20 as always.
Before I was to commit a crime, I'd go to a bar and pick up some of the cigarette butts that you might find in front of it, then spread them at the scene of the crime. Everyone hates smokers and these butts will contain someone's DNA, so they have someone to look for who isn't me.
Objection, South Park is limited to 30 minutes, therefore the passage of time is faster, making a quick turnaround quite likely. If the timeline won't fit, you must acquit.
Everyone is overlooking the most important detail here, NO ONE live on Endor as it is a GAS Giant planet. The Ewoks live on the Forest Moon "OF" Endor.
"Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury! Why is my client Chewbacca the defendant in these charges when the arrest was unlawful because they mistook him for the Abominable Snowman when neither party matched the description and Chewbacca lives on Endor with two foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense!"
I watched this with my dad (general counsel for a texas port), not only did he put down his news paper to watch, he only took issue with about 1/3 of the topics, by which I mean he paused several times to elaborate. High praises indeed. In 30 years on earth I’d never have imagined him laughing at South Park. 10/10 would recommend if you want to connect with your prickly lawyer dad.
"We'll get my dad to be chefs lawyer!" "Yeah and hes jewish!" "Ok now that might sound insane...." Me: ..there arent Jewish lawyers? "...that someone wrote a song and" Me: ooohhh
12:05. Can we all take a moment to appreciate the professional profile pick of Chewbacca? His hair is well groomed. He's got his head tilted nonchalantly. There is a good light shining from the right side. It all makes him look like a real movie star, instead of just some guy in a costume. Very nice.
Did you watch this? The “Chewbacca defense” is literally something said by lawyers but they don’t necessarily call it the “Chewbacca defense” while many do it’s not like the show actually had an impact on lawyers lmao
LSRP June Did you watch this? Towards the end he literally says that many lawyers he knows himself included use the term “chewbacca defense” because of this episode.
I was a member of a jury last week, managed to get selected for one of the 12, and volunteered to be jury foreperson. The first 4 of 5 charges were easy to rule on because the prosecution and witnesses addressed them, but one charge wasn't proved beyone a reasonable doubt for the majority of the jurors. After we'd spent 7 hours debating what the legal definition for physical injury considering the related meaning of "impaired physical condition" it occurred to me that the defense attorney used the Chewbacca defense in real life. He picked a few minor, easily explainable, and almost irrelevant things about witness testimony and kept repeating "It doesn't make sense" during his closing argument. I wonder how it would have gone if he'd had Johnny Cochran as his defense attourney...
I remember everyone going nuts about the OJ Simpson trial. I was in second grade... Second grade. A bunch of kids who knew absolutely nothing about the actual ins and outs of the case, arguing every day for weeks, "He's innocent!" "He's guilty!" Absurd. One day the teacher leaves the room and comes back shortly thereafter to announce that Simpson was found innocent. Half of the classroom cheered and the other half booed. I was in the very small minority -- the people who didn't give a shit, because we were all just kids -.-
@Jordan Sharpe Who are you even talking to? Your response has no relevance to what has been said. Sounds like you didnt even read the comment, made an assumption, got your feelings hurt and let loose. Lol, keep being you, champ.

@@laa0fa502 They wrote "old" not "older" which is a huge difference hence my confusion. The english language is subtle, but I appreciate the clarification. :)
For Chewbacca being a citizen of Endor its actually a fact. The Bright Tree Village Ewok tribe made the Rebels official members of their tribe. This effectively also made them all citizens of Endor even if they never actually returned to live there. In short they basically had a home on Endor waiting for them should they ever decide for whatever reason to return to the forest moon.
Yeah, I remember watching when OJ tried on the glove and thinking "Who spreads their fingers like that when they're putting a glove on?" The answer: someone who doesn't actually want to get a glove on
I also read he wasnt taking medication in anticipation to wearing the glove because it caused his hand to swell up. The conditions the glove was kept in also caused it to shrink a bit.
@GMF Moist leather gloves, that are supposed to be tight fitting in the first place, were kept in a Ziploc evidence bag. There was no possible way they would fit their original owner. That trial was a circus, no camera should ever been allowed inside. judge Ito was a joke, more concerned with looking good for the camera and what kind of book deal he could get out of it. Darden was an idiot, Marcia Clark was in the middle of her own divorce proceedings and was frequently late which made the jury hate her. That jury shouldn’t even have been trying to case it wasn’t even in the correct district they moved it to LA County just to make it easier for the media which was asinine because I completely change the jury pool and all of a sudden OJ gets a black jury including a bunch of women who spent their whole lives thinking he was a sex symbol. The prosecutors literally did everything wrong, they thought that women would be the best jurors because of the history of him abusing his wife when in fact the black women harbor resentment for the white wife and had no sympathy for her as a victim whatsoever. And this was before everybody on the planet knew about DNA evidence all the CSI shows didn’t exist so what seems completely obvious about of course it’s him the blood matches, flew right over the heads of the idiot jurors.
@Gerry C I'm sorry but that is the dumbest thing I've heard yet. There was an exact DNA blood match. There were footprints made by the Italian shoes OJ wore. There was his glove. There was the ridiculous claim that he just happened to break a glass and cut his hand that exact same night. Just think of that. In your entire life you might, once, cut your hand on a glass you break. We are supposed to believe that on this once in a lifetime night his ex-wife just happened to be murdered by a knife attack. That is quite the coincidence. Seriously, GTF outta here with that shit. OJ is 100% zero doubt guilty.
@@jefffawcett I don’t think anyone can debate that he did it, but some of what you listed as evidence is really just circumstantial and wouldn’t really prove anything in a court. Oh grass was broken and O.J had a cut on his hand the same night doesn’t prove anything even if it’s a logical conjecture. Unless, you can link these two events by evidence, that’s not really going to prove anything in a court. Also, they should have never made O.J try on that glove...
Can you do the episode of Trailer Park Boys where Ricky gets arrested for having open liquor in his car but he argues that because he lives in his car and thus got pulled over in his house, it can't be considered open liquor.

The Chewbacca Defense has worked for me. I had a loser hearing regarding service of process regarding what was the Defendants "domicile" in a foreclousure case. I told the D's attorney he had a good case, I had nothing to refute his argument, but I was going to use a Chewbacca defense by comparing his argument to a case in the news about Rob Emanuels domicile to run for Mayor of Chicago. He laughed at me! It wasn't exactly analogous, but it created confusion and by way of presentation(there was laughter), changed the Judges thought process. The Judge forgot the better opposing argument and ruled for my rhetoric. It was reversed on appeal!! But I may have won on oral argument!! We all 3 still laugh about it.
Objection: Recently, Lizzo actually wound up in court over the opening line of her smash hit song, "Truth Hurts." The line, "I just took a DNA test, turns out I'm 100% dat bitch!" was inspired by a social media post from singer Mina Lioness using extremely similar wording, and this became a legal issue after Lizzo attempted to copyright the line for merchandising reasons. Lioness is now credited as a co-writer of the song. The Raisen brothers, a pair of audio mixers and record producers, also tried to claim authorship of the song. Their case was thrown out and Lizzo ultimately counter-sued them for harassment.
Lawyers,...busy thinking they are in control of the situation when, in truth, they are not even in control of the facts. But they are sure to bill you for the time it takes them to learn just how wrong they are,.......
Really cool part about this episode is that Isaac Hayes's (voice of Chef) music has been sampled so many times in early hip hop to the point where Mind Playin Tricks On Me by Geto Boys just uses the entire instrumental of Hung Up On My Baby by Isaac Hayes for the backing track.
Best writ of attachment ever: a Florida man once had the sheriff's dept roll in on a Bank of America branch and start hauling out desks, chairs, computers... anything that wasn't bolted down. They had tried to foreclose on his house erroneously, and he won a judgment for compensation that BoA never paid. Sweet sweet justice, foreclosing on the bank for once.
There was one where it was against a big company, and they didn’t even bother to turn up for the case. So the plaintive ended up walking into a huge office building and seizing all sorts of stuff.

Fun fact: My old Catholic School in East Orange, NJ closed and the city took it back over. They turned it into a public school and named it the Johnnie Cochran School of Community Law or something like that. JC never came to school nor do I think he knew it existed. Still wondering WHY it was named after him.
Well, probably very few objections are marginal enough cases to go one way or another. It would have to be a particularly contentious point to actually reach trial and be heard by the judge.
Cochran got a critical fact wrong in his argument. Endor is a moon, not a planet. Edit: If anyone else wants to litigate whether Endor is the name of the moon, the gas giant it orbits, or the entire solar system, the answer is that they are all called Endor. However, since the moon is the only Ewok supporting body in the system, it’s the only one that is relevant to Cochran’s statement regarding Chewbacca’s place of residence. Case closed.
Actually they are both called endor. Canonically the planet Endor, often called Endor 1, has a moon in it's orbit also called Endor, often called Endor 2. That being said I believe it matters little either way because it's sort of like Frankenstein vs Frankenstein's monster. So many people call the monster Frankenstein that no one really bothers to correct it. Edit: after rereading my comment to check for grammar and such I realized how much of a nerd I am. So sorry about that.
Before I got the real context, I assumed the Chewbacca defense was a stalling tactic to get people arguing about whether or not Chewbacca "lives" on "Endor" instead of the actual case.
We watched the verdict in the lunchroom. Still remember kids running around shout, "The Juice is loose!". I suppose I should remember that reaction whenever I see some teenagers being trolls online, everything is comedy gold at that age.
Chaos, if applied correctly, can confuse and create a reasonable doubt about almost anything. It's a valuable weapon in hearings. Though often it's effect is only short term.
The fact that you’re saying the “glove doesn’t fit the jury must acquit” is brilliant just goes to show that our system isn’t about justice. It’s about who can be the most clever for their client.
I think you meant "isn't about justice." In reply, I would say you are overlooking a few things. 1. The great virtue of the system is that no one pretends justice can be magically dispensed from on high without the parties representing their own cases as best they can. 2. Parties are free to represent their case however they see fit, within the rules of court and the law. If unrepresented, and the matter has serious consequences, they will be given representatioin. (Contrary to popular opinion, such representation is usually competent and energetic.) This is the only way known to ensure that the relevant evidence is fully examined as the basis for thefactual scenario offered by either side. 3. Because parties can screw up in the presentation of their case, as the prosecution did in going for the demonstration with the glove in the OJ case, there are presumptions, and burdens of proof. In a criminal trial, there is a presumption of innocence. It's a big presumption. To overcome it, the prosecuition must meet a very high standard of proof, known as the burden of proof:. The criminal standard is that guilt must be proven beyond reasonable doubt. If they don't remove every and any reasonable doubt as to guilt, the defendant walks. Sure theprosecution can stuff it up, but they have the awesome power of the state behind them. they are well-resourced and well-qualified. Things go wrong sometimes, on either side. The point is, in the interests of JUSTICE, your primary concern (according to you), the presumption and the burden to be met protect the innocent. Generally, it could be argued that the adversarial system is a pure expression of individual freedom and liberty. The right to mount a defence, arguing a distinct version of the facts, goes back to the Athenian assembly, and probably further. There's nothing more fundamental in matters of thought and reason than that the contrary view needs consideration. Once you get alternate positions, it is unavoidable that skills in advocacy and human error come into play. Hence the presumption of innocence, and the burden of proof. It's all pretty obvious.
It's all about the mind games. What goes on cereal? Milk. What is ice cream made out of? Milk. What's in a shake? Milk. What do cows drink? ... Sometimes people attach to patterns and simplicity over complexities and isolated facts that have no emotional connection. The question isn't what you said, it's what does the jury remember.
It is not about being clever, it is the job of a defense attorney to poke holes in the prosecutions theory of the crime and if you just so happen to make your defense rhyme all that does is help the jurors remember it.
Justice is a human concept if you can find a way to implement perfect "justice" without human error and systems please let me know. What justice system in the world fits your definition "justice" if one doesn't' exist that should tell you something, its just a system of retribution people made up. It depends on what you mean by "justice" and everyone's definition is different, there is no true "justice" just what we decide as a society or on an individual level.
Don't worry. It's also for those who are not from America, and have no reason to even know of OJ Simpson, apart from pop culture. But it feels more including to people who know, but don't actually remember, and those who are too young to actually remember, and those who have heard the story, but not quite understood it. Him explaining so that we don't have to ask and seem stupid is a very nice thing :P
This lawyer says he was in middle school during the trial. I was in college, now I feel really old. I'm going to sue this lawyer for making me feel bad.
I was also in middle school. I remember the 8th graders got a TV wheeled into their class room to watch the verdict. Unfortunately I wasn't in 8th grade. Pity- I probably would have learned more if I had watched the trial in class.
As a very average Star Wars fan, I also know that Wookies don't live on Endor. It's like assuming that the humans of Star Wars originate from the Death Star. That does not make sense!
The fact that he says that lawyers "use it all the time" does not make sense. Calling something a "chewbacca defense" isn't "using the chewbacca defense" it's just using the name. As a lawyer, using such incorrect wording should be obvious to him, and I am disappointed.
I actually remember watching the OJ verdict on tv during class in middle school too. It's one of those historical moments that while not a big of a scale as something like 9/11 or JFK assassination, was just something that people remembered, very vividly because of how the entire nation was hanging onto every moment of it.
The OJ trial is a great example of a case that was extremely mishandled from the get go. The Police mishandled evidence, contaminated the scene and otherwise lost credibility to the jury. Criminal law is about 2 things: the government following the law, and the government proving a citizen did not. In the OJ case the government simply didn't follow the law and the acquittal was correct.

This is why being judged by a "jury of my peers" scares the shit out of me. Often a catchy saying works better than any amount of reason and logical arguments. My peers are not that bright.
Doesn’t help that OJ’s were probably the dumbest jury they could’ve possibly selected.
No critical thought. I could explain critical thought to them like I would to a 5-year-old with a sock puppet show called “Casey and their critical thought” and they still wouldn’t get it.

@@bradymenting5120lol people have always been stupid and easily manipulated by catchy phrases. just look at the o.j. simpson case, that was two years pre-social media and the jury let a clearly guilty man go free. this has been happening since the advent of jury trials. when you put a group of people who have absolutely no knowledge or experience with the law in a courtroom and ask them to make a legal decision, it will never be unbiased or based on pure legality. this is basic common sense man. social media didn’t come out of nowhere and suddenly create stupid people. it just gave them a platform to spread their stupidity to a much wider audience.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but reviewing this episode as a lawyer would be similar to a doctor reviewing the scene in South Park movie where they replace Kenny's heart with a baked potato
In fairness, Dr. Mike did review several medical scenes from the show; though, unfortunately, not that one from the movie.
I wonder if he'd have recognized Clooney's voice.

2-3 words being the same is probably safe, those same words with the same music much less so.
copyright* and you're mistaking what he said. he didn't say just because the same 2 seconds is in another song, he said the same lyric. You can pull exact lyrics from songs and use them in a completely different song as long as ALL the words aren't the same and the music itself is different. Something like 'smack my bitch up' you can include in your own original song where you say 'if dat hoe don't bring da dosh ima smack my bitch up'. The objection is that people can't sue over use of sampling of same words because language is common to all and only a direct composition of the same words in a long enough string would constitute infringement such as copying an entire verse or chorus or something. UA-cam also does not care about copyright law, they strike down infringing shit upon request and by content ID TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM BEING SUED as per DMCA law. A platform has the responsibility to prevent user uploads from infringing on copyright law or THEY can be sued so youtube takes a proactive and paranoid approach to protect themselves. Also, the idea of 'fair use' is a legal argument that must be challenged in court, you can't simply claim to youtube that your 2 seconds of a song is not infringing because it's fair use, you would have to take the copyright holder to court and prove it in a court of law and only then would youtube reverse the decision.

I was a member of a jury last week, managed to get selected for one of the 12, and volunteered to be jury foreperson. The first 4 of 5 charges were easy to rule on because the prosecution and witnesses addressed them, but one charge wasn't proved beyone a reasonable doubt for the majority of the jurors. After we'd spent 7 hours debating what the legal definition for physical injury considering the related meaning of "impaired physical condition" it occurred to me that the defense attorney used the Chewbacca defense in real life. He picked a few minor, easily explainable, and almost irrelevant things about witness testimony and kept repeating "It doesn't make sense" during his closing argument. I wonder how it would have gone if he'd had Johnny Cochran as his defense attourney...

For Chewbacca being a citizen of Endor its actually a fact. The Bright Tree Village Ewok tribe made the Rebels official members of their tribe. This effectively also made them all citizens of Endor even if they never actually returned to live there. In short they basically had a home on Endor waiting for them should they ever decide for whatever reason to return to the forest moon.
But he doesn't _live_ there. It's not _residency._
Yeah, I remember watching when OJ tried on the glove and thinking "Who spreads their fingers like that when they're putting a glove on?" The answer: someone who doesn't actually want to get a glove on
I also read he wasnt taking medication in anticipation to wearing the glove because it caused his hand to swell up. The conditions the glove was kept in also caused it to shrink a bit.
OJ had actually stopped taking meds for arthritis so his hands would be swollen and the glove wouldn't fit.
Thank you!
@GMF Moist leather gloves, that are supposed to be tight fitting in the first place, were kept in a Ziploc evidence bag. There was no possible way they would fit their original owner. That trial was a circus, no camera should ever been allowed inside. judge Ito was a joke, more concerned with looking good for the camera and what kind of book deal he could get out of it. Darden was an idiot, Marcia Clark was in the middle of her own divorce proceedings and was frequently late which made the jury hate her. That jury shouldn’t even have been trying to case it wasn’t even in the correct district they moved it to LA County just to make it easier for the media which was asinine because I completely change the jury pool and all of a sudden OJ gets a black jury including a bunch of women who spent their whole lives thinking he was a sex symbol. The prosecutors literally did everything wrong, they thought that women would be the best jurors because of the history of him abusing his wife when in fact the black women harbor resentment for the white wife and had no sympathy for her as a victim whatsoever. And this was before everybody on the planet knew about DNA evidence all the CSI shows didn’t exist so what seems completely obvious about of course it’s him the blood matches, flew right over the heads of the idiot jurors.
@Gerry C I'm sorry but that is the dumbest thing I've heard yet. There was an exact DNA blood match. There were footprints made by the Italian shoes OJ wore. There was his glove.

The Chewbacca Defense has worked for me.
I had a loser hearing regarding service of process regarding what was the Defendants "domicile" in a foreclousure case.
I told the D's attorney he had a good case, I had nothing to refute his argument, but I was going to use a Chewbacca defense by comparing his argument to a case in the news about Rob Emanuels domicile to run for Mayor of Chicago.
He laughed at me!
It wasn't exactly analogous, but it created confusion and by way of presentation(there was laughter), changed the Judges thought process.
The Judge forgot the better opposing argument and ruled for my rhetoric.
It was reversed on appeal!!
But I may have won on oral argument!!
We all 3 still laugh about it.

Objection:
Recently, Lizzo actually wound up in court over the opening line of her smash hit song, "Truth Hurts." The line, "I just took a DNA test, turns out I'm 100% dat bitch!" was inspired by a social media post from singer Mina Lioness using extremely similar wording, and this became a legal issue after Lizzo attempted to copyright the line for merchandising reasons. Lioness is now credited as a co-writer of the song.
The Raisen brothers, a pair of audio mixers and record producers, also tried to claim authorship of the song. Their case was thrown out and Lizzo ultimately counter-sued them for harassment.

Really cool part about this episode is that Isaac Hayes's (voice of Chef) music has been sampled so many times in early hip hop to the point where Mind Playin Tricks On Me by Geto Boys just uses the entire instrumental of Hung Up On My Baby by Isaac Hayes for the backing track.
Best writ of attachment ever: a Florida man once had the sheriff's dept roll in on a Bank of America branch and start hauling out desks, chairs, computers... anything that wasn't bolted down.
They had tried to foreclose on his house erroneously, and he won a judgment for compensation that BoA never paid. Sweet sweet justice, foreclosing on the bank for once.
Of course it was Florida Man.
They actually just wrote him a check, but there was a threat of repo'ing stuff if they didn't
Even if nothing was actually taken out of the bank, the sheriff wouldn't have shown up ready to repo without writ in hand.
There was one where it was against a big company, and they didn’t even bother to turn up for the case. So the plaintive ended up walking into a huge office building and seizing all sorts of stuff.

Fun fact: My old Catholic School in East Orange, NJ closed and the city took it back over. They turned it into a public school and named it the Johnnie Cochran School of Community Law or something like that. JC never came to school nor do I think he knew it existed. Still wondering WHY it was named after him.
If the name fits, you must acquit.
Objection!
You hardly ever sustain or overrule objections!
I dont think I have seen him actually reply to a comment ever. He just wants people to comment without him bothering to so work to reply.
Never seen it either. Cool concept, sad it never actually happens.
Well, probably very few objections are marginal enough cases to go one way or another. It would have to be a particularly contentious point to actually reach trial and be heard by the judge.
I mean, he’s probably a busy guy. Give him some slack
I've also objected over this exact issue. It has yet to be sustained or overruled.
Cochran got a critical fact wrong in his argument. Endor is a moon, not a planet.
Edit: If anyone else wants to litigate whether Endor is the name of the moon, the gas giant it orbits, or the entire solar system, the answer is that they are all called Endor. However, since the moon is the only Ewok supporting body in the system, it’s the only one that is relevant to Cochran’s statement regarding Chewbacca’s place of residence. Case closed.
What's the difference between a moon and a planet? Size? Atmosphere? Composition of the body?
A moon orbits a larger body. A planet must have otherwise cleared out it's orbit of any other gravitationally significant objects
No, Endor is the planet. But the ewoks live on the forest moon of Endor.
Actually they are both called endor. Canonically the planet Endor, often called Endor 1, has a moon in it's orbit also called Endor, often called Endor 2. That being said I believe it matters little either way because it's sort of like Frankenstein vs Frankenstein's monster. So many people call the monster Frankenstein that no one really bothers to correct it.
Edit: after rereading my comment to check for grammar and such I realized how much of a nerd I am. So sorry about that.
So that means it makes even LESS sense, therefore strengthening his argument.
"I'm not sure it's entirely accurate to say Chewbacca lived on Endor."
Oh my God, you're such a lawyer!
I'm not a lawyer, and I'd say the same thing.
It’s not accurate. As far as we know he’d only been there once.
Marc Whitakay the Forrest moon. True.
Dux Nihilo Chewbacca is from Kashyyyk, his father is Attichituk. They both raised a colony known as Alaris Prime.
That depends, what is his permanent address, in other words where does he get his mail sent to?
The Chewbacca defense is soo good that even a real lawyer spent 30 seconds on something that is not a part of the case! :P
20 years I've been wanting to shout "But Chewbacca doesn't even live on Endor. None of this makes sense!"
My day has come!
Ty Legal Eagle!
Before I got the real context, I assumed the Chewbacca defense was a stalling tactic to get people arguing about whether or not Chewbacca "lives" on "Endor" instead of the actual case.
We watched the verdict in the lunchroom. Still remember kids running around shout, "The Juice is loose!".

The fact that you’re saying the “glove doesn’t fit the jury must acquit” is brilliant just goes to show that our system isn’t about justice. It’s about who can be the most clever for their client.
I think you meant "isn't about justice." In reply, I would say you are overlooking a few things. 1. The great virtue of the system is that no one pretends justice can be magically dispensed from on high without the parties representing their own cases as best they can. 2. Parties are free to represent their case however they see fit, within the rules of court and the law. If unrepresented, and the matter has serious consequences, they will be given representatioin. (Contrary to popular opinion, such representation is usually competent and energetic.) This is the only way known to ensure that the relevant evidence is fully examined as the basis for thefactual scenario offered by either side. 3. Because parties can screw up in the presentation of their case, as the prosecution did in going for the demonstration with the glove in the OJ case, there are presumptions, and burdens of proof. In a criminal trial, there is a presumption of innocence. It's a big presumption. To overcome it, the prosecuition must meet a very high standard of proof, known as the burden of proof:. The criminal standard is that guilt must be proven beyond reasonable doubt. If they don't remove every and any reasonable doubt as to guilt, the defendant walks. Sure theprosecution can stuff it up, but they have the awesome power of the state behind them. they are well-resourced and well-qualified. Things go wrong sometimes, on either side. The point is, in the interests of JUSTICE, your primary concern (according to you), the presumption and the burden to be met protect the innocent.
Generally, it could be argued that the adversarial system is a pure expression of individual freedom and liberty. The right to mount a defence, arguing a distinct version of the facts, goes back to the Athenian assembly, and probably further. There's nothing more fundamental in matters of thought and reason than that the contrary view needs consideration. Once you get alternate positions, it is unavoidable that skills in advocacy and human error come into play. Hence the presumption of innocence, and the burden of proof. It's all pretty obvious.
It's all about the mind games.
What goes on cereal? Milk.
What is ice cream made out of? Milk.
What's in a shake? Milk.
What do cows drink? ...
Sometimes people attach to patterns and simplicity over complexities and isolated facts that have no emotional connection. The question isn't what you said, it's what does the jury remember.
It is not about being clever, it is the job of a defense attorney to poke holes in the prosecutions theory of the crime and if you just so happen to make your defense rhyme all that does is help the jurors remember it.
Justice is a human concept if you can find a way to implement perfect "justice" without human error and systems please let me know. What justice system in the world fits your definition "justice" if one doesn't' exist that should tell you something, its just a system of retribution people made up. It depends on what you mean by "justice" and everyone's definition is different, there is no true "justice" just what we decide as a society or on an individual level.

"OJ Simpson, for those of you who don't remember..." OH GOD I'M OLD
Don't worry. It's also for those who are not from America, and have no reason to even know of OJ Simpson, apart from pop culture.

Him explaining so that we don't have to ask and seem stupid is a very nice thing :P
This lawyer says he was in middle school during the trial. I was in college, now I feel really old. I'm going to sue this lawyer for making me feel bad.
I was also in middle school. I remember the 8th graders got a TV wheeled into their class room to watch the verdict. Unfortunately I wasn't in 8th grade. Pity- I probably would have learned more if I had watched the trial in class.

I think they bring it up when people bring up a defense that has absolutely nothing to do with the lawsuit.
The fact that he says that lawyers "use it all the time" does not make sense. Calling something a "chewbacca defense" isn't "using the chewbacca defense" it's just using the name. As a lawyer, using such incorrect wording should be obvious to him, and I am disappointed.

That's a low blow, Bob Loblaw.
The OJ trial is a great example of a case that was extremely mishandled from the get go. The Police mishandled evidence, contaminated the scene and otherwise lost credibility to the jury. Criminal law is about 2 things: the government following the law, and the government proving a citizen did not. In the OJ case the government simply didn't follow the law and the acquittal was correct.
It's not what you know it's what you can prove.
That's the most concise summary I've read of the OJ case. Now do A la recherche du temps perdu.
OJ wasn’t guilty, he didn’t killed those people.
Whether they knew about jury nullification or not, I agreed with their acquittal
