My client is not guilty of sexual assault because there's literally CCTV footage that show him working in office as usual meanwhile sexual assault happened in different location. The victim insist that my client is guilty of sexual assault, got mad at Judge and proceed to attacked the judge. So called victim dragged out from court room and judge decided that my client is not guilty of sexual assault.
I wonder if someone's ever been accused of a crime that happened while they were in a courthouse for unrelated things.
@@DarkKnightofIT There is. My colleague client (male) accused of marriage fraud and judge decided client is not guilty just like Maury show. The next day client got court summon order for attempted first degree murder that happened on yesterday meanwhile client still on courtroom. In the end, that was accidentally racist profiling by police report because some police can't tell difference between Asian faces.
@@DKShandy76OK, I get SUSPECTING someone because they look vaguely similar to a description, but you'd think they would do a little investigation before bringing him to court. 🤦♂️
My client is not guilty because he has no responsibility to uphold the constitution..... as president.
Trump?
@@CJO-no1 One of three of his arguments. The other a former president cannot be found guilty for actions taken as president without being impeached, while also claiming a president cannot be impeached without first being found guilty. I think the other was he has immunity to any crimes allegedly committed while in office, even after having left office. The arguments made by his lawyers are wild.
Which one out of the last 15 or so? Lmao
@@CJO-no1 yep
The only real correct response tbh @@MrNoxxta
I worked in the courts in NSW a long time ago. A truck transporting beehives was overloaded (scales check the weight on most trucks). The drivers solicitor argued
"He weighed the truck when he loaded and all the bees were flying. When he was checked they had all landed so it was heavier. He was rewarded with 556A dismissal (charge proved but dismissed due to exhonerating circumstance)
The "exhonerating circumstances" were that the magistrate laughed for 10 minutes. 😅😅
shame physics sys that doesn't work?
It does check out, but highly unlikely that the bees would weigh enough to make a difference
“Your honor, my client pleads oosie daisy.”
The “our own exhibit is fake” thing is ridiculous, obvious liar
Not a lawyer, but a cop. Female victim found wearing one sock, spreadeagle on the floor, wig and false teeth beside her body (she was 24), stabbed multiple times. The man's wallet found on the floor between her legs helped identify a suspect. He claimed he went to the apartment to visit a girl who lived there. She wasn't there but her roommate was. According to him the roommate tried to seduce him, removing her clothes. He, being a virtuous young man, turned her down, and she flew at him in a rage with a knife, which he took away from her but, in continuing to attack him, she ran into it, killing herself. Blood matching hers was found on the inside of his pants. The District Attorney, summing up, commented "Seventeen stab wounds, front AND back! She must have had a TERRIBLE sense of direction!" Suspect representing himself, cross-examining the victim of a purse-snatching: "Did you get a good look at my face when I took your purse?"
That first one reminds me of the musical Chicago. "And then he ran into my knife. He ran into my knife ten times!"
This reminds me of that one scene in Detroit:become human.
Entitled lade suffered a fractured wrist in a slip and fall case and said that the building owner should pay her enough she can retire and never have to work again. You could visibly see ghe jurors get pissed at her, and not surprisingly, she lost. Her lawyer also knew it was bad when the jury sent out a note asking if they could make the entitled lady pay the building owner money even though he hadn’t asked for any.
I actually have CRPS: complex regional pain syndrome. It’s horrific & many of us need memory foam beds because just the stitching in the mattress that causes divots become lines of fire on the affected area. I literally got a new bed with memory foam & that would lift my legs to help with swelling too. Both mattress & frame came to aprox 2k & my disability covered it completely cuz this disease is so messed up.
This woman who wanted a 6k california king was just being greedy asking for a size to fit her bf. When the pain is bad a sheet moving a tiny bit from someone else breathing causes pain. She deserves to get the care she needs- but that doesn’t include making her bf comfy.
There might be a reason that the lawyer in story 11 can't get a case.
Story 11 is just sad. I think there's a reason that lawyer hasn't had work in a while...
Not a solicitor (lawyer) but most ridiculous argument I heard was "he was leading me on flirting sitting on my lap and kept touching my arm he fancied me .."
About an 8yr old child who he'd violated ..
Sickens me the thought process these predators have
The guy in story 15 was just like “I’m not guilty, because it was just a little oopsy daisy, your honor.”
One of the most funny things that ever happened to me. I was a passenger. We were making a left turn and someone hit us turning from the opposite direction.
The moment the other driver got out of the car, yelling, "you wong, you wong!". If it didn't happen to me I'd think it to be a racist joke, lol.
Insurance found her to be fully in the wrong lol
You mean they found her fully in the....wong
That first one is a banger of a story. What a grand finish.
My dad was a lawyer for 22 years. One time he won a case and got some money for it
Not a lawyer, but a witness - kind of. The case was between my parants and a tenant. My parents were terminating the rental contract due to home requirement due to me and my brother living with them in a 1 bedroom flat while the house that tenant was living in alone was a 5 bedroom house and she objected against that. Her argument was that my parents wouldn't be married and wouldn't have children all while my mother was sitting in the audience with my on her lap and my brother sitting next to her.
Our lawyer decided to not only show the paperwork proving our existence - he called my mother up as a witness. She stated (obviously rightfully) that she is married to my father and introduced myself and my brother to the judge. Then she turned to the tenant and asked her whether she'd still would complain to her about the noise we'd be making while playing as if we wouldn't exist there would be no point in complaining. The judge then looked at his paperwork, laughed and just told us kids to never lie like that woman, cause if we'd lie we should at least not sue for compensation about noise caused by people who - according to our lies - wouldn't exist.
He then dismessed her objection and her claims about compensation due to stress and health issues caused by loud noises - which already must have been on very thin legs as noise caused by small children is generally deemed to be accepted due to it being children). I also remember that the judge was pretty pissed for his time being wasted with such nonsense, but idk if anything more happened because of that.
Absolute presidential immunity.
Got into a sorta bad wreck on a motorcycle. Shattered wrist and rotational bone. Hospital had to send me to professionals for surgery because the first one couldn’t handle the damage. The wreck was my fault but driver got out and only thing he said was his insurance is gonna go up now. Only heard hope you’re alright as the ambulance doors were closing. Lost faith in humanity that day
Well if he is so upstanding... he should know better!!!!!!!!!
Story 14: I’m pretty sure the guy saw that in My Cousin Vinny and thought that would work as an excuse
The bus accident story reminds me of the time my roommate got rear-ended by a cop car. Fortunately no one was hurt, but it was unequivocally the officer’s fault. The light was green as she was coming up on it, but there were cars in front of her that hadn’t started moving yet so she had to brake. The cop either wasn’t paying attention or hadn’t left a safe follow distance bc he ran into her. He then turned his lights on and they pulled into a parking lot to do whatever it is people do after getting in an accident. (My roommate said this was particularly awful bc the cop left his lights on so it looked like she had gotten pulled over for shenanigans on her end). I believe the cop car had dash cam footage so there was nothing ambiguous about fault for the accident, but it was such a headache bc she had to file an insurance claim with the city, which required all of these extra hoops to jump through (additional forms, getting her car evaluated by a particular shop, etc.) which was made even more confusing bc her car was registered out-of-state since we’re grad students and her car is technically owned by her father. The city dragged its feet so much that she kept having to ask her insurance company for extensions on the paperwork, and it ended up being such a hassle that she just paid to get her car fixed herself. Her car is older so it wasn’t too expensive, and her parents are wealthy so were able to foot the bill. She drives a sedan, and the cop car was a full-sized SUV with a grille on the front. I can’t imagine how much worse it would’ve been if she had been injured and there were hospital bills in the mix.
Actually watched the same thing happen to a family van yesterday. Cop car ran into a stationary vehicle waiting for a red light to go green. Cop immediately gets the lights on, steps out and then starts trying to write them a ticket while motorists shout at him. Absolutely wild. As if their dashcam wouldn't have caught it
Story 14, the guys from My Cousin Vinny accidentally stole a can of tuna. I guess it's not that hard to accidentally steal fish.
13:52 I would literally be the one to do this, though. The number of times I’ve gotten to my car only to realize I’m holding a piece of trash and not my keys….🤦🏻♀️ silly ADHD brain
Ive gotten to work to find that I grabbed the remote. Luckily I had grabbed my phone too. Still not sure why I had the remote cause I wasn't watching TV before leaving lol
realistically i know that being a lawyer is nothing like how anything ever presents it but everything i hear about this still makes me want to do it. aside from anything i hear about law school. that part just terrifies me
After dealing with a few narcissistic, delusional assholes in my life; I think being a lawyer for those jerks would just be the fucking worst! Especially when they decide to speak in their own defence at court because they obviously understand the law better than the professionals 🥴😂
The amount or chimos using children's Ms "behavior" or clothes as a justification for their disgusting behavior is ridiculous.
0:00 I’m surprised the drug guy actually came back
8:15 probably yell at Dee-Dee to get out of his laboratory
Saw a defendant represent himself in a domestic violence case. Basically stalking with about a dozen violations of orders of protection. He argued that he doesn't love like a man, he loves totally irrationally... like a woman. The jury just laughed.
The prosecutor was about 7 months pregnant. After the trial (he was OBVIOUSLY found guilty), she talked to the jury to debrief. They only wanted to know about the baby.
#1 shows there's no harm in asking, even if you did a Breaking Bad
The inner machinations of his mind are an enigma.
Former prosecutor here. The defendant was charged with assaulting another guy with a motorcycle helmet after a verbal disagreement. He claimed he had been walking away from the victim and the victim then charged at him while yelling insults. He got scared because the victim was allegedly significantly taller and bigger and as he was spinning around to defend himself his arm (holding the helmet) accidentally swung and hit the victim. I immediately questioned him how it was possible to hit someone taller that is standing behind you, facing you and causing an injury IN THE BACK OF THE VICTIM‘S HEAD. It‘s anatomically impossible for the arm to accidentally swing that way. Immediately after that the defendant’s attorney still had the balls to request to dismiss the case. Funniest moment was the defendant’s face when the judge asked the defendant to stand next to the victim who turned out to be the same height and size and had a much more plausible story of being attacked.
If the person wasn't speeding, the officer wouldn't have wriitten him a ticket. QED
13:30 I've worked in a shop and seen a woman with two clothing items over her arm answer the phone and leave the store without paying, he might be telling the truth, granted the woman came back horrified two or three minutes later. I have actually gotten 10-15 feet out of a supermarket with a drink because they didn't have the rest of the meal offer I wanted, I immediately turned around and paid for it but the security guard just watched me, either knew I was being braindead for a moment or didn't think it was worth the confrontation.
My family is friends with a famous Hawaiin painter, no im not doxing the guy. Anyways last time we went out there he shared this story about how his former accountant was an idiot who had not taken care of the painters taxes for years and he owed over $2 million, half principal half interest. His lawyer, the best one on the island who delayed his retirement to take this case because he also like the artists paintings, recommended taking it to court and using the “dumb artists defense” whereby an artist cannot be expected to understand how normal people things like taxes work… the judge forgave the interest and told him to pay off the $1 million principal. Already know that some of yall wont believe this but yeah, the “dumb artists defense”, who would guessed thats a thing?
On story one, I think we are assuming the lawyer is as good a judge of character as the judge. I don't know if the judge "knew" the guy honestly just wanted to get married or not but I think we should reserve judgement on this one given the guy actually did come back.
You got a discord server?
Is it just me who just realised that it's "UnderSparked" and not "UnderSparkled"?
The thing with two salmon fillets I almost did something like that 4 times in my entire life time accidentally sooo 😅I understand him but he does sound like he making a excuse and isn’t saying the true I know I only make true excuses, and I make them often and get called out for them being lied and nobody never knows the truth not even till this very day well you probably know because I mentioned it
6:11 I can think of a particular celebrity who made big waves in 1995 who died recently, who fits this description more or less hand and glove. What was his name?…
On story two should the judge have used the asking value of the tickets or the expected value of the tickets. The former is over $300. The latter is near zero.
Asking value because the store and the government still lose money due to failure to purchase. Buying a lottery ticket is buying access to the opportunity to win. One cannot play without first legally meeting the guidelines to be accepted into the game (being of age and the tickets being paid for.)
Being of age not necessarily required to win. At least one state (I think it's one of the Carolinas) lets minors collect winnings, but they have to have received the ticket as a gift.
Story 1: *Diplomacy 100*
are we sure daryl didn’t drop the bucket on purpose
🎉
6:05 to be fair there are people that do take those types for a ride to get money. It does happen, although it’s not as common as it used to be most the time those pillar of the community are genuinely that appear of the community not excusing what the asshole did mind you, just add some context to that sort of plea works.
“Daryl man that sucks” did you not read that Daryl is likely the dude that fucking caused it LMAO
Someone’s ex wife said she should get full custody because the Chinese father couldn’t take care of the kid..
Awww ❤ thank you, I've been feeling pretty sucky lately and to hear that i dont suck feels great 💕
allegations are self proving? why do we even need courts if the cops already have solved and argued the case eh? we can just save money on lawyers, courts and just invest all that money into prisons and police!
Not scary at all... [/sarcasm]
Allegations are self-proving to the court of public opinion. An accusation is pretty much treated as "guilty" by mass media.
Story 2: He has a point. The tickets had no value as every single one was a loser. It's not 300 dollars worth of tickets the guy stole, it's like a couple cents worth of useless paper/cardboard/plastic/whatever. Shouldn't have been counted as a felony if the crime wasn't violent.
The argument is it's 300$ of lost income to who they stole it from. That is, 300$ is what they're worth to the seller, not to the buyer. But since it's the seller wanting the money, not the buyer, the value to the seller counts.
Suppose you stole a new car and totaled it. It's now worth nothing. So you owe nothing, right? Nope, that's not how this works. You owe what the stuff was worth *before* you stole it - in the case of the tickets, what they could have been sold for.
i was almost first comment

I mean story 9 is fair though
Like why wouldn't he be entitled to half of her money?
Thay 70 yesr old should get half the settlement
I don't see why its inappropriate for the man to ask for half of the holocaust settlement. Imagine that he has supported her all his life and she is leaving him for her long term lover just before the money arrives. Imagine that he has also already shared millions of dollars in inheritance that he received before he knew about the affair.
Holocaust money might be terrible optics, but it's not legally different from any other settlement for something that happened before the marriage.
I love these videos but I really could go without you interjectijng the coldest take possible after every other story lol. I do appreciate the work put in nonetheless
How about you stay in your lane, buddy? Your commentary adds nothing to the video
