Going for the Kitchen Sink defense?

[Ghel]

Motion denied on account of the attorney and her staff being incompetent?

[An Haddock]

If they follow up with the Chewbacca Defense (tm) it'll be the greatest motion in history.

Will you be in the court when this happens? Will you be able to post a follow up?

[Crossbow]

Oh, wow. What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall when that one is read in court.

Ms Defense Attorney:

I know that in a busy law practice it is an easy out just to copy a motion you found that another attorney filed, and then use it for whatever your needs might be (actually a very common and very accepted practice among attorneys) but at least read what you or your staff copied/pieced together before you sign and file it.

You just filed a discovery motion regarding an illegal left turn traffic ticket for which your client signed the promise to appear and drove on. The problem is that you asked for ballistics reports, arrest/criminal records of all witnesses, all documents any expert witness will use to testify, the inventory of your client's car following its impoundment, and all autopsy and toxicology reports associated with the charges. You referred to your client both in the feminine and masculine. Your client's name even changed in one of the paragraphs.

The prosecutor has been laughing all morning. So have the court officers.

Hope the judge does not lose it on the stand as well when this motion gets heard.
