An over the top courtroom drama to keep Apogee from a life behind bars is not something I knew I needed, but now I really want to see more.
Extra points for the stereotypical southern lawyer as prosecutor.
Hominy Grits: “Your honor, I may just be a simple country lawyer, but even I know that a court of law depends on a careful examination of the evidence and facts of the case. Where, do tell, is the evidence that this… rat, assuming of course it is one, is in fact the same rat we believe was executed by the heartless defendant in cold blood?”
Diamond Gavel: “Objection! Your honor, I will not stand for superfluous characterization-”
Hominy Grits: “Now I do apologize. The same question, please, absent the part about her being a cold blooded killer.”
Diamond Gavel: “Your honor!”
Judge: “Mr. Grits, please save the dramatics for the trial. Now, would the defense counsel please answer the question.”
Diamond Gavel: “Your honor, this rat has been a cherished family pet for many years and-”
Hominy Grits: “So cherished that the filly thought shooting it would be fun? An interesting manner of play your client has.”
Diamond Gavel: “Your honor if these interruptions continue I will file papers to have this entire farce thrown out right now!”
Judge: “No more of that Mr. Grits. Last warning.”
Hominy Grits: “I’m sorry your honor. I’m just so worked up over this baseless attack on the dedicated mares and stallions who enforce the law in our community. The idea of throwing out a case… with eyewitness accounts of trained officers of the law and no evidence saying otherwise? Why, if we let everyone off who might be innocent, where would our justice system be?”
