I'd love to watch Larry in court, especially when he brings in his "expert" witnesses. |
Hermagoras shows up at Joe G's door to get that elusive ID evidence and is shot; the state contends that it was Joe G who shot Hermagoras. Enter Larry Fafarman, criminal defense attorney:
"Your honor, at this time - in order to rebut the state's ballistics expert - I'd like to call to the stand my brother Daryl and my other brother Daryl. Not only has my brother Daryl seen every episode of CSI and all its spin-offs, he owns the Season Two box set of CSI: Miami, which comes with some really informative special features. Plus, my other brother Daryl looks a little like Vincent D'Onofrio, who plays a really smart detective on Law & Order: Criminal Intent." |
"Mr. Simpson, don’t you worry, I watched Matlock at a bar last night. The sound was off, but I think I got the gist of it."

From the Arrested Development episode, "For British Eyes Only":
George, Sr.: Now, listen, we can’t just go in there and plead “not guilty,” we have to have someone big behind us, our own private Matlock. So I made some calls and I got him.
Michael: Got who?
George, Sr.: Andy Griffith. What, you never saw Matlock?
Michael: Not a real attorney, Dad.
George, Sr.: Now, for ten grand, he’ll actually sit behind us in court and read the paper. For $15,000, he’ll actually sit at the defense table. For $20,000, he’ll twice lean forward (Whispers) and whisper something in your ear. Oh. White suit, that’s extra.
Michael: Boy, that’s an awful lot of money for the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard.
George, Sr.: The juries love him.
Michael: That’s just it, Dad. There won’t be a jury because we are pleading guilty.
George, Sr.: I am not guil... All right, I didn’t want to tell you this. Are you ready for the bombshell?
Michael: Andy Griffith wasn’t the bombshell?
George, Sr.: I’m a patsy. I was set up. By the Brits.
