Yup. It's a common tactic. You throw a lot of big words at people, make it sound like you know what you're talking about, you can get them to believe you. I remember in the movie "Law-Abiding Citizen," there was an early scene where the titular citizen just spews a bunch of random laws and legal precedents in front of a judge. She lets him walk because he "seemed to know the law." He then mocked her for falling for his tactic. Basically you confuse people with tons of information and word salad and they'll pretty much just give up and believe what you say.
@@drygnfyre This same tactic is used for taxes. Make it very confusing so people don't save money on taxes except rich people that pay Accountants that studied 4 years no understand the system to help save them money on taxes. Not only that but also the economic system and inflation and corporate pay salary. Just confuse everyone so you can keep ripping them off.
@@redgravemirren Johnny Cochran actually said that sentence at one point in the trial. It's ridiculous, isn't it? It doesn't even make sense grammatically. And that is why everyone remembered that line from the trial, and why they put it in this episode of South Park. Johnny Cochran was a snake.
"If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit." It was the stupidest argument to an obvious murder but the jury was scammed. One of the greatest injustices in history.
In the minds of some people It evened it up after the cops who beat Rodney King on videotape were acquitted. Also the head cop on the Simpson case, Mark Furman, who found most of the evidence, had a history of using the word nigger in a racist context and perjured himself by denying that under oath. That was good enough to get him an analyst job with Fox News.
Unfortunately not enough evidence. I think more people get wrongly found innocent than wrongly convicted of crimes generally. Most definitely not one of the biggest injustices of all time. One of the most infamous for sure
@@boataxe4605 Rodney King was resisting arrest. Watch the video again. It's not as bad as the media made it out to be. That's why the cops were acquitted. They followed procedure in subduing a resisting subject.

@@aaronpasache1847 there’s a decent amount of Robot Chicken jokes in the game. Max Rebo like you said, plus Order 67 being a dance, Yarael Poof getting his own sidequest and being worshipped
It doesn't. I watched his closing arguments after OJ's death, which were 6 to 7 hours long. Reducing a master at work to couple of sentences is a great disservice. He was so compelling, no jury in the world would have found him guilty.
lmao there was nothing compelling about him. His entire defense strategy was conspiracy theory mumbo jumbo and drawing irrelevant conclusions (like he did with the Fuhrman tapes) to support his conspiracy theory. Character evidence does not confer guilt, and Cochran had no physical evidence to substantiate his claims either, which is why he resorted to the use of deflection satirized in this scene
@@InvertedWIng that’s really part of the problem. Intelligent persons should want to do their civic duty and be on juries- to ensure our Justice system performs the way it’s intended. It’s not as much as a day’s work, but you do get paid.

What's so stupid about the Chewbacca Defense is that Cochran is literally admitting that he's bullshitting around and is not expected to be taken seriously, but he just speaks so quickly that you don't have time to react.
As a non American, I didn't know who this lawyer was. But, when I saw this character on south park, I was like "OMG IT'S THE SEINFELD LAWYER". Gotta say, laughed my ass off with both, just unbelievably funny depictions
@@Pagemaster22193 Maybe LAPD should have been ashamed of itself for planting evidence in that case which basically led to the decision, also the racist POS Mark Furhman, the detective, his racist rant contributed to further Distrustfulness of LAPD on the case which should have been an open & shut case.
Lesson : make sure your jury is composed of Star Wars fans. They would know Chewbacca lives on Kashyyk. Well practically, he lives on the Millennium Falcon.

Don’t feel bad. Most Americans don’t know either

He was the lawyer who confused the jury in a similar way to this and got oj simpson acquitted of murder.
I like how the prosecution and the defense somehow switch sides and nobody notices.
Or how it goes from a civil to criminal trial.
