"Now, before you find my client innocent, you’ll have lunch, including soup and salad, your choice of steak or fish....
"Rule 979. You must wear facemasks while deliberating."
And here was the location of the stolen toilet paper truck.
Court Deputy: "These jurors will need pillows if he keeps this up!"
Ignore what you see here . . . look at my abs instead. And yes, my client is innocent.
We’re running a little test to see if justice is blind or just near-sighted.....
I know my client’s writing is illegible, even enlarged. Offered as proof of his medical degree.
"As you can see, we are in phase 4: from shelter-in-place to hurt-in-place. #Still Alone Together"
"Repeat after me: If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands."
"See! Right here! In my client’s confession! He said he didn’t do it!"
"Look. It’s simple math. With everyone 6 feet apart from each other, juror 1 will be 66 feet away from juror 12. So, yes, you may have to do some shouting in the jury room!"
The sign read " It’s the Judge’s Birthday today, ON three we all sing happy birthday to the judge. Ok, One, Two Three"
Wait - what about this pivotal piece of evidence ? Obviously, my client should prevail on her claims.
Court deputy thinking: "These jurors look angry. Can’t he see he should have stopped talking at least five minutes ago ? When will these attorneys learn how to read a jury ?"
"Look, I know I need to stand six feet away from you, but as you can see here I measured the distance before you arrived."
"Let’s make sure you truly understand the facts."
"Only you have the power to provide justice to my client by returning a not guilty verdict."
"In cae you were wondering, this is why we are really here."
"I know you were wondering, so let me tell you, this is the bottom line on this case."
Jurors: "Does this guy think we are clueless ? How many times is he going to point to that same line on the easel ?"
