    "Never do that. You say, 'What are you charging me for?'"
    Don't even do that. If you're in an interrogation room, things are already going very badly for you, you're far out of your depth, and whoever is in that room with you is not your friend. Your best shot is to *leave immediately* if at all possible. So, the only thing you ask is, "Am I allowed to leave?" If the answer is yes, get the hell out of Dodge. If the answer is no, demand an attorney. Don't ask whether you need or should have one, demand one. Then shut up. Don't take anything from them, especially beverages--that will give them a DNA sample without a court order. Don't write or sign anything. Don't say anything.

      I have to completely disagree with your assessment of cops. They're badly-trained, poorly-educated thugs who don't have the faintest understanding of the laws they enforce or the rights they swore an oath to protect. And that's after dealing with literally thousands of them.
      They're greyhounds. All they know is the chase. They don't know why they're chasing the rabbit. But even when they don't see the rabbit, they're going to chase it anyway. All they care about is catching it, so they run, run, run in circles. And they will make up any reason necessary to break up the boredom of their existence with a chase. Even if it's not a rabbit.

      Many years ago I was arrested on drug charges and interrogated. I was high and a natural born chatter box so I definitely said more than I should have, but nothing that they didn't already know that would have made things worse for me. Then an hour later a "nice guy" cop comes by and asks if I want a coke or something, I accept, he hangs around a bit and asks me what LSD is like. I was very knowledgeable about drugs and neuroscience via Internet research, so I explained to him how the brain processes information and generates a reality model, and how LSD works and alters those systems. Later I find out from my lawyer that they were bumping up my charges to MANUFACTURE of a controlled substance, just because I demonstrated scientific knowledge in my conversation with "nice guy" cop.
      The moral of the story: say NOTHING to ANY law enforcement, EVER. The game they are playing is to use everything you say to get the most severe indictment possible. Only your lawyer talks to them, if at all. Give them NOTHING. They will absolutely stretch all reason and logic to charge you with as much nonsense as they can pile on. They either want a conviction that sends you to prison as long as possible, or they want there to be so many charges that you have no choice but to take a shit deal from the DA.

    One of the best examples of how accurate the cross examination is, is the way he questions the witness about his grits. He methodically makes the witness eliminate every possibility that the grits took less than the minimum 15 minutes (remember the cook said 15 or 20 minutes). Were these instant grits? Do you like them al dente (undercooked)? Then he hits the witness with the question. And uses the longer time of 20 minutes to accentuate the difference from just 5. He proceeds to fluster the witness to emphasize his uncertainty. Perfect cross by Vinny.

      That and the other witness with the dirty windows. He makes the witness agree to little unarguable facts, (yea there is a screen, yes the window is dirty, yes there are trees in the way. No one can deny those facts) and he piles those small little facts on top of each other until he gets to his main point: the witness was able to see clearly.

Did you catch how Vinny did the magic trick with the card? He has the two cards pressed together, then when he waves his hand and says "His whole case is an illusion", he lets one card drop into his lap. ;)

    While I was in High school, this movie helped me win a mock trial. The movie was already old, and sadly forgotten about by the opposing council. I was the defense attorney, and the other side created their own elaborate evidence, outside of what was in our binder. I objected, 'Discovery and disclosure." (Aware of the illegality of dropping evidence without disclosing it to the defense, thanks to the other great scene with Marisa Tomei) All of their 'evidence' was thrown out.

    4:18 As someone else commented, yeah, don't say anything if you're at the point you've been put in a room for interrogation. It's easy for an innocent person, eager to cooperate, thinking that if they just talk things will work out. But if the officers are under the impression you're the culprit then they can use all sorts of tactics, such as getting you to unintentionally contradict yourself during repeat questioning or relying on your anxiety in the moment to get a confession.
    10:40 the diner cook forgot to mention that you absolutely must salt the water when you're cooking grits to be savory. When they are cooking is the only point grits absorb flavor, otherwise they'll just be bland.
    21:50 The "gotcha" trial moments in court dramas and movies are not a thing. Disclosure, or discovery, should've uncovered everything there is relevant to the case well before that. One job I've had was to give and record when defense lawyers picked up discovery packets for their cases.

Or is it just impossible for the character to have a sense of right and wrong and a strong moral compass simply because he’s a policeman, and that automatically makes him “evil” and deserving of whatever punishments can be bestowed upon him, even in the interest of not killing innocent people?

    38:22 time mark: Legal points.
    (1) The on screen reaction to the Prosecution's motion to dismiss all charges was premature. It is only a motion to dismiss. The charges aren't dismissed until the judge rules on the motion.
    (2) The Prosecution's motion to dismiss charges was incomplete. He should have specified (and the judge would most certainly have asked for clarification) as to whether the motion for dismissal was "with prejudice" or "without prejudice".
    _ Dismissal without prejudice means the prosecution can re-file the charges later.
    _ Dismissal with prejudice means the charges are completely dropped. If a case is dismissed with prejudice, it cannot be brought back to court.

    My college major was Constitutional Law. I did my internship in a District Attorney's office and it was a really great adventure. This county was where the state prison system had it's administrative center, so, in addition to the local crimes, this DA's office also handled crimes committed in prisons, to wit, we traveled often to other counties to try cases. A really great benefit was eating lunch, and sometimes dinner, in really nice restaurants. There was one very entertaining judge. With a really great southern drawl he began every case with "Bailiff, this boy ain't here cuz he sang too loud in church. What are the charges?"
    One interesting highlight-we were trying a case with a violent and dangerous prisoner. The prison system version of a SWAT team was in the courtroom. One HUGE guard was stationed to stand next to the jury. The guard took out a can of chewing tobacco and started to take a dip. A juror with a tube up his nose slapped that can of chewing tobacco, sending it flying across the courtroom. Every eye in the room turned to the jury box. The DA spoke up, to the huge guard, who was glaring at the juror: "He lost his jaw from cancer because he dipped tobacco. That tube is how he eats his meals." The guard suddenly looked weak and pale.

    He starred in two TV shows in the 1960's: "Car 54 Where are You?" (A New York City police comedy) and the gothic comedy "The Munsters. " He played the Frankenstein creature (Herman Munster) married with a young (wolf boy son) and a niece who thinks she is unattractive compared to the rest of the family. The Patriarch is wife Lily's "Grandpa" (a vampire). Fans would attend his art shows and ask him to laugh like his character Herman Munster. This infuriated him by the disrespect.

    You can watch a trial if you want. Courtrooms are usually open to the public, and in most cases there are empty seats. All you have to do is walk in and sit down. You should know, though, that most trials are pretty boring.
    The bit with the two "youts" wasn't in the original script. It came from a conversation between Joe Pesci and director Jonathan Lynn, who's British. Lynn had a hard time understanding Pesci's New York accent, so he decided to put it in the film.

    when i was like 15, we visited the local court with political education class to watch a few trials... and one of the guys who got tried for smashing the outside of the mayors house on his way home drunk from a bar, knew me from parties and stuff, loudly yelled over and greeted me... his hands were still bandaged from trying to beat the shit out of a house while drunk... for teenage me that was the most embarressing moment of my life... nowadays i just love the story.

    One of my oldest friends is a lawyer. She says they actually don't go over a lot of courtroom procedures. You learn by doing and getting yelled at by the judge. Apparently most of them are real dicks. Comes with nearly limitless courtroom authority.
    Also, I was at my friend's daughters birthday party. Most of the adults there were people from her firm. I was standing around with them and keeping up with their legal conversation. One of the guys handed me a card afterwards. He wanted to recruit me. I laughed and told him I wasn't a lawyer, I've just seen My Cousin Vinny a bunch. The group laughed.
    I golf with those guys now :)

    I knew a bunch of law students in grad school and the solution to cost is basically debt. I think even more than seeing people kept out by the cost was people who were passionate about being public defenders worry about paying off their debt. You can also expense things like suits when you have a practice, but again likely more debt. Some of the student debt forgiveness programs were almost tailored to addressing that issue but it’s been a long drawn out process with a lot of back and forth.

    If you are actually interested in watching a court case, they air a lot of high profile cases on TH-cam. I first got into them during the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard case that was highly publicized. I actually would watch on TH-cam with real life lawyers who would explain court proceedings along the way. Many of those lawyers, whose channels came to fame during that trial have went on to cover many other public high profile trials, like Alex Murdaugh murder case. In Wisconsin we had the Waukesha Christmas parade massacre and the eye drop poisoning trial both covered by Law and Crime, Court TV and many TH-cam creators both lawyers and true crime buffs. And trials are always public, so you are welcome to visit a court trial at your local court anytime.

    The other reason for disclosure of evidence is to know what evidence is actually being withheld from the court by the prosecutor. The withholding of evidence from the court by the prosecutor could far more damaging because that evidence could possibly prove the defendant is actually innocent but the prosecutor is only interested in getting a conviction and not the defendant’s rights for a fair trial.

    The concept of discovery goes way back in English common law, but it was practiced mostly in abeyance in England and America until a Supreme Court decision in 1963, Brady v. Maryland, really set this as vital to a case.
    In the old Perry Mason books (different from the tv series and the HBO series), some 86 stories written between 1933 and the early '70's by an actual practicing attorney Erle Stanley Gardner, much of the courtroom drama revolved around one side hiding evidence and even witnesses from the other (mostly in these stories, the prosecution, not the hero, Mason). I had devoured these books and so like many, I didn't realize how radically things had changed when attorneys could file Brady motions. I was shocked when I first saw this movie in 1992, but only for a minute, as I thought to myself "well, of course. That's only fair."
