Courts Cartoons

"Innocence is no excuse."

"Well, heck! If all you smart cookies agree, who am I to dissent?"

"The Court finds itself on the horns of a dilemma. On the one hand, wiretap evidence is inadmissible, and on the other hand I'm dying to hear it."

"And here's good news for the defense. I am disqualifying myself on the grounds of blatant prejudice."

"Not guilty, because puppies do these things."

"You can't plead cute."

"No, I don't think your decisions are too Draconian. Do you think my decisions are too Draconian?"

"Judgement Day: Division Four"

"My question is for the medical examiner."

"What are you - some kind of justice freak?"

"I had a pretty sleazy lawyer, but evidently not sleazy enough."

"Recess is over, Your Honor."

"My client pleads great wealth."

"Learned counsel should use shorter words. Learned counsel is forgetting that this Court was not an 'A' student."

"The jury will disregard the witness's last remarks."

"Are you telling me that just because something is against the law, that makes it illegal?"

"Come now, give the system a chance."

"Don't listen to him. Your hair is beautiful."

"Frankly, counselor, I don't care how stressful this is for your client—tell him to get out of that damn yoga position."

"We have testimony that you walk like a duck and you quack like a duck. Tell the court - are you a duck?"

"That was fun. What time does the next trial of the century start?"

Law 'N' Order

"And today if the prosecutor says 'Liar, liar, pants on fire,' do not turn around to check."

"Perhaps this will refresh your memory."

"Your Honor, if it please the court I'd like to deliver my opening comments in the form of a power ballad."
