How about that Law and Order episode where Chief Assistant ADA Jack McCoy has a noticeable boner when he's cross-examining the under-aged call girl in the Season 6?
Very funny Rump, but I have to agree with the AFI that voted My Cousin Vinny as number three all time in legal movies (and number one in comedy).
The scene with Judge Herman (Fred Gwynne) Munster, Joe Pesci, and Marisa Tomei with her testifying is one of the best. I could watch that scene (and probably have done so) at least 20 times.
I heard on the television machine yesterday about a case in China, where a defendant was convicted of a Madoff-like scheme, only on a much smaller scale. He was sentenced to death ... except the sentence was suspended for one year, and the defendant was released and given the opportunity to raise the full five million dollars owed in restitution to the victims.
How about Al Pacino's opening statement in "And Justice for All," shot in one take with no script? Pacino deserved an Oscar for this scene alone. Also liked Jimmy Stewart's performance in "Anatomy of a Murder"--you don't see too many lawyers like him in South Florida.
Ahh, but you under estimate Peter Adrien. He will put in his campaign literature that he was an applicant for three Federal judgeships in two different districts.
What a sleaze. Maybe he can borrow some of that $2 Billion being collected from Che Guevara for his campaign.
Courtroom life never changes
ReplyDeleteWe love Judge Joe Fernandez!
