Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 04, 2011
Transcript:
Rat: Your Honor, my idiot client would like me to withdraw our request for the death penalty. Instead, he'd like me to call our first character witness, his mother Patti. Mom: I don't like him. Judge: No one's asked you a question yet, Ms. Pastis. Mom: Oh... well, I still don't like him. Stephan's federal trial.

Mama Patti is smoking in Court?! I’ll not note our recent experience in my woeful state of a Mama Patti standing by her man in court. Didn’t work for Rod here, and this is not improving my opinion of Atty. Rat’s tactics there….

She could try the “So, are you going to arrest me for smoking?” line Sharon Stone used in ‘Basic Instinct’, but I don’t think the effect would be the same.

Like I said last week, he is charged with felony paronomasia.Since rat is no longer seeking the death penalty for his client,I guess you could say: “No noose is good noose.”

Ah, this might work. I think the judge is starting to feel sorry for him.
