What's the funniest way you've seen a lawyer or defendant blow a court case?

The judge recused himself from a criminal case publicly stating that he knew the defendant

and he was a son of a bee and guilty as hell. Well, I mean, yeah, the judge should totally

recuse himself, but saying that second part is prejudicial as heck. My brother was on a jury back in the days of Myspace. A woman had been hit by a big rig during foggy weather. She was suing for back injury. The last day of the trial, they asked her if she has a MySpace account and bought up her site for the jury to see. I think all profiles were open back then. There's a picture of her dancing on the hood of a car,

and right next to it is a text exchange of her saying that she shouldn't go out too much

because her lawyer says she has to look injured. Needless to say, she lost that case.

I once attended oral arguments for U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. It's pretty much the

big time. I watched a lawyer argue that his client received what's known as ineffective assistance

of counsel at the trial from which she was appealing. The attorney, however, was not doing a very

good job during oral arguments. So, at one point, one of the judges on the panel leans forward and

asks him, Counselor, are you currently providing ineffective assistance of counsel?'

Imagine getting that kind of burn from a judge in the Second Circuit appeals.

Do you just turn in your law degree and become a homesteader?

I represent school districts.

One of my clients has a farm that's used to teach agricultural sciences to the students.

The manager of the farm decides to brutally euthanize a ton of chickens in full view of a group of elementary school students.

Sometimes farms have to euthanize chickens.

That wasn't the problem.

The problem was that he was whacking the chickens over the head with a hammer,

and he had to whack each chicken like five or six times before they died, because apparently he's some kind of psychopath.

Those poor chucks were just not dying.

That didn't deter him.
