2. Rule #1 about defense/prosecuting lawyers: don't say "uh-oh!" 😆😂😅

3. Bros kinda stupid south park isn’t supposed to be realistic at all he’s viewing the episode like an idiot it’s just supposed to be funny

4. Open and shut cases dont make it to trial?

   All credibility lost.

   The government is happy to spend your taxes prosecuting the innocent. If they can frame it and manipulate it, they will, and they do. If they can commit purjury and falisfy evidence they can and they have.

   In the case of criminal trial, you aren't making a deal. You're accepting a slightly smaller shit sandwich than the almighy shit sandwich your government plans to force feed you. Under duress.

5. "If Chewbacca lives on Ewok you must Aquit"☠️

6. Ron Goldman was not her lover. He was a friend that her and Keith (her actual lover) knew because he worked at the restaurant Keith managed. He was just returning her mother’s glasses that she left behind at the restaurant. Wrong place wrong time. He wasn’t her lover unless they were swinging but even then I don’t think it counts. Oh probably thought it was Keith since it was dark. I hate it when everyone says that cause it’s not the truth

7. Clearly a rip off. Lawyers who had no ear for music(tone deaf). This what happens when you involve lawyers with no ethics. This comes from the same person who charges you to talk them over the phone or emails. EGO

8. I quoted Johnny Cochran once. Was somewhere and saw someone fiddling around trying to put on a glove that was too small. Naturally all I could say was “If the glove don’t fit, you MUST acquit!”

9. After watching this entire video, Im still not sure what a Chewbacca defense is

10. Fun fact

    Endor was originally going to be the planet where Wookiees came from, and the Ewoks were all going to be Wookiees instead.

    However Lucas wanted a Primitive people, overthrowing a technologically superior foe, and the Wookiees by then had been established to be technologically adept (side fact, Wookiees are the best repairmen in the galaxy, can patch starship hulls with literal wood and makeshift glue!).

    So they needed to make a new species, make them primitive, and also make them seem less imposing than the Wookiees. Enter Ewoks, aka small Wookiees.

    I say all this to help inform where the writers may have gotten the idea to say 'how can Chewbacca live on Endor if the Ewoks do?'

11. Wouldnt the judge just say objection relevance

12. Woody Guthrie sang,
    "Yes, as through this world I've wandered
    I've seen lots of funny men;
    Some will rob you with a six-gun,
    And some with a fountain pen."

13. Pharrel admitted that he was inspired by Marvin Gayes song….

14. The Chewbacca defense isn't a lawyerly tactic or strategy, it's a way of life. Just ask me, my life makes no sense! 🤣

15. Chewbacca does not live on Endor. He is a space Wookie.

16. It's ironic that at the same time this video was being made stating everything that would never happen in a real court room, there are court rooms in TEXAS that simply go with "I don't care what the law is outside this room, in MY court room the law is what I SAY it is" and then proceed to tell the accused "I am not allowing ANY evidence or witnesses or any type of defense. I am not allowing a trial."
    "Those police that claim the accuser is a compulsive liar who frequently files false charges will be ignored, even though you weren't the first and she continued to do so with others after you were arrested – although THOSE police did the most minimal investigation (instead of saying "i believe her") and realized she was full of shit."
    "You will sign the PLEA DEAL – THAT is how a case works . This plea deal send you to to prison for a crime you an easily prove you did not commit… If you refuse to sign the plea deal, I will put you on a bus in the next hour and send you to prison for 20 years: no jury, no trial, no early release. Just prison"

    …THAT judge's "ruling" (who even called the accuser days before the trial to tell them not to bother showing up because there would be no trial) sounds as far-fetched as Chewbecca defense… yet EVERY lawyer we contacted wanted $140,000 in cash immediately to fight this corruption.
    ie My boy went to jail/prison for 4 years & is now a sex offender for life because a policeman refused to do his job for 5 minutes, a lawyer refused to do his ACTUAL job at all ("my job is to get a plea deal signed & to negotiate the amount of prison time") & a judge REFUSED to "allow" any evidence/witnesses to be subpoenaed or even "allow" a trial; and THEN the State Commission on Judicial Conduct replies "we do not interfere with local judges" (even though THAT is their sole purpose for existing when the judge is obviously corrupt!!!!)
    Thus, this entire South park episode, and the Chewbacca defense, at least in Texas, is not so ridiculous as it may seem since things far more ridiculously inexplicable happens in real life court rooms simply because the accused is too poor to buy justice. And again, every lawyer agrees what the police & lawyer did to my boy was illegal, & f'd up but they want twice as much money as we are worth to even officially LOOK a the case. Hopefully, innocense project of Texas gets this sorted out (even though it's taking YEARS)

17. Who is here like me in 2023 because of the Bleach Defense? Can't wait for Legal Eagle to cover this one.

18. lemme teach u fam. first we run genius lyrics. then, we proceed to run voice pitch analyzer. screenshot the track, run google lens. then we run lighthouse via hp. send full report to google , umg, yt, ig and intel. and boom. you r now a lawyer.

19. So you admit that it doesnt make sense? I rest my case🤷

20. I was in Spanish class during the OJ verdict, and we didn't get to watch because the teacher said "It has nothing to do with Spanish"… the moment class was out we all ran out of the classroom and started asking everyone what happened, cause some classes got to watch the trial. Also, I love that Chewbacca defense is a meme in lawyer culture.

21. Wait a second, "for all of those reason it didn't fit" the video shows the glove barely fit, regardless. They should not have asked him. Clark said so as well.

22. My civil case was not close, yet it proceeded to trial. The judge even wrote in his opinion that it was "striking to him" that it ever made it that far "over two fairly straightforward issues."

23. Donald Trump did the same! His old base want to make American great again for them.

24. Total honesty I doubt even Trey and Matt would have expected a real lawyer to vote this episode as high as a "C-" for legal accuracy haha. Their humor is very much the "over the top" type of humor. I know this was four years ago but this is hilarious content, thank you!

25. The second trial makes no sense either! It's a Chewbacca Plot Point! It's Chewbacca all the way down, I tell you!

26. To make it more funny I would tell the jury to grab there laundry before they make there decisions the laundry bag would be a money bag.

27. you should cover the queen vanilla ice lawsuit over under pressure vs ice ice baby

28. But the gloves DID fit… so??

29. This channel is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

30. no lets talk about chewie. screw the legal stuff i wanna hear what you have to know about starwars lore

31. I had read that OJ’s lawyers told him not to take his arthritis meds when he was to try on the gloves so his hands would also be more swollen.

32. OBJECT!
    Reason?
    Doobly Doo.

33. Cartman: Yeah and he's Jewish! 🤬
    Lawyer: oh god.. That might sound insane.. 😅

34. I think you're mistaken when you say that Ron Goldman was Nicole Simpson's "lover"

35. Disgusting cartoon.

36. For those who aren't old enough to remember the OJ trial, he's absolutely right about how big of a deal it was. My parents let me stay home from school because the verdict was gonna be read that day.

37. Stupid laws.

38. My brain just exploded.

39. The Dark Horse copyright was a damn shame. The obscure dude's from SoundCloud or wherever he came from song was not even close to Perry's

40. Amongus

41. its kinda sad that manipulation is considered 'brilliance' when every instance in the courts degrades society and the world at large – all for a petty 'win'

42. I object. In three states one can go volentarily to jail for debts owed. In doing so the jailed repays debts at $200 / day for the imprisonment plus they are given classes to help them pay off their debts at improved rates. These skills are oft displayed in custoidan shops ran by social workers and some members of the prison's security force. Maine actually pays back $300 per day for volentary imprisonment, plus four shops that will sell the works and crafts of those in jail for debt. However this system does work well, as people whom otherwise would not be able to repay debts learn and repay their debts as a collective. Also the skills they learn from this type of incarciration are beneficial to everyone involved. Now without learning those skills a person could be out within 15 years from a $2 million dollar debt, but by actually learning and improving their skills, that 15 years can be knocked down to as little as 5.

    But this system is not perfect. Like anything there will be people who abuse that system.

43. 4 years later and a lot of legal ecperts are getting second guessed and criminally sued. That sure fidnt age well 😜

44. this reminds me of Gordon Lightfoot sueing Whitney Houston's "greatest love of all" for plagarism of his hit "if you could read my mind", totally stolen.

45. “When you’re in that Jury room, deliberating and conjugating the emancipation proclamation, you have to ask yourself: does that make sense?”

46. Fun fact, It's actual spelled Wookiee ❤

47. I think OJ's son should have been looked at.

48. This defense reminds me of the amber heard defense

49. Honestly I didn’t even know that famous line was from Johnny Cochran

50. It's like the Ed Sheeran trial against the estate of Marvin Gaye!
