judge: ...and the minimum sentence is greatly reduced as the perpetrator of the crime, one social vegan, was found to be unarmed at the time of the crime

my lawyer: Hold on there, your honour, then how do you explain, *grabs my arms by the shoulders* these?!

judge: ah yes ha ha very funny, you see when we talk about armed status in this specific scenario we are referring to guns or other weapons

my lawyer: I see, I see, well then, how do you explain *grabs my hands, shaping them into finger guns* these?!

judge: oh my god

jury: *gasps*

my lawyer: Don't worry folks, they aren't loaded

my lawyer: *quietly to himself under his own breath* ...or are they?...

Thanks for representing me
"Set me up with the details"
I was minding my own business driving to work
"okay in a car"
...yes, um, and this large truck cut me off in traffic
"haha okay, road rage coming"
well I'm getting to that. So this large truck cuts me off and I guess he clipped the front of my car and so he spun out of control
"like on a banana peel, shwoopsidasies! haha"
uh... anyway I pulled over and he got all upset and stepped into traffic
"oh man I wish I was in on this gag"
I... he died instantly, look they're telling me they think I pushed him and I'm going to prison. I don't feel like you're taking this seriously.

my lawyer: *meanders up to the judge* well now hold on your honour, are we supposed to believe that you're going to change the charges on my client?

judge: yes of course, now that we have this new information

my lawyer: well maybe things look a little different up there on your high horse, but from down here you look a little hypocritical, what with these *grabs judge's hands and turns them into finger guns*

jury: *gasps*

judge: *turns to bailiff, almost crying* ...save me from me

prosecutor: is it true that the defendant is responsible for this murder?

witness: no

Judge: Mr. Wallace, please give a straight answer. Did your client murder this man?

Me: *whispering* No no no no I did not do that plead not guilty

Attorney: [ignoring] Yes, and... He's also... a serial killer!! *makes knifing motions, imitates Silence of the lamb guy* and I'm busy working at this grocery store *shuffles invisible groceries* Oh hey Pal, looking for some fresh veggies today? How's the serial killing going? Want some eggplants they're two for one??

Me: [grumbling] Yes, and, I would like to note for the record that I am not a serial killer.

Jury: [groans]

Judge: [shaking head] Not cool man. You have to play along for it to work.

Judge: this has all been very fun, but I'm afraid the law is quite clear. I hereby assign 2 points on your driver's license, which brings you over 5, meaning your license is suspended

Defense attorney: objection your honor, you said yourself at the beginning of this proceeding that everything is made up and, and i quote, "the points don't matter"!

Lawyer: As your legal counsel, I think it would be best to plead before the court that you are, in fact, gay as the day is long.

Defendant: But I'm—

L: Look, I know it's hard, but this is—

D: I'm happily married!

L: Don't let that get in the way! We need to garner sympathy from the jury. How do you do that?

D: By showing the footage from the restaurant security tapes showing that I was eating fettuccini at the time of the crime!

L: Nonsense. The court will be bored with your taste in pasta. What you need to do is tell the court that you're a minority so I can tell the jury that the court is persecuting your for—

D: I HAVE TWO CHILDREN!

L: Trust me. I'm a law guy; I know how these things go down. I've seen bigger men with a better defence than yours locked away for life. Is that what you want? Life?

D: No... Please god no.

L: Then you know what you must do.

D: There must be another way?

L: [shaking head condescendingly] Say it with me now: I'm gay. Come on, say it.

D: [defeated] Alright. I'm gay.

L: Louder!

D: I'M GAY!

...that's right, that was audio footage of President-Elect Donald Trump cross-examining television legend Oprah! Exciting stuff at the 14th day of this thrilling trial. Will Woody Allen and his prosecutorial team be able to prove the first-degree farting charges against Yoda, Bob Dylan, and John Wayne? Only time will tell.

lawyer: Ok, I'm going to call you to the stand. Pick three phrases from this hat, and you can only say those things in response to my questions.

me: Uh...(takes out three slips) "I'm guilty of all charges?" "Just lock me up now?" "I don't even know why we're having this trial?"

lawyer: (snickering) Man, those are some GOOD ones!

Ladies and gentlemen of the Jury.. My client stands accused of murdering his girlfriend with a hammer and dissolving her body in a tub of acid. But ask yourself this! Does that look like the face of a man who could get a girlfriend?

I am a congenital optimist.
Judge: Would the defense like to make a closing statement?

Attorney: Of course your honor, if the ladies and gentlemen of the jury could give me a location.

From the back: ...GAS STATION!

Attorney: Ok, a gas station. *turns to defendant who is already pretending to drive a car*

google THIS

"Ok, I'm going to examine these witnesses, including the defendant himself, but each of them is going to have a certain personality or quirk that the judge is going to have to figure out."

I look at my card. "Can't say a single sentence without incriminating himself." I sneak a glance at the other witnesses' cards. "Italian mafia snitch" and "Donald Trump trying to conceal his bad gas, and who also thinks the defendant is guilty." The jury chuckles at our comically exasperated expressions.
