    Aka, the Pontius Pilate / Eichmann defense.

    Hey, it's better than the chewbacca defense...

    Michael Stokes: Ladies and Gentlemen of this deposed jury, a major record label's attorney would certainly want you to believe Gnutella was written and used purely to transfer copyrighted data, and he makes a good case. Hell, I almost felt pity myself. But Ladies and Gentlemen of this deposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider.

    *Walks up to a chart*

    Michael Stokes: Ladies and Gentlemen, (Pulls down picture of Chewbacca) this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wooky from the planet Kishic, but Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it. That does not make sense.
    Why would a Wooky, an eight-foot-tall Wooky, want to live on Endor with a bunch of two-foot-tall Ewoks. That does not make sense. But more important, you have to ask yourself "What does this have to do with this case?"

    *Jury stares in silence*

    Michael Stokes: Nothing. Ladies and Gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case. It does not make sense. Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major opensource movement and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca. Does that make sense? Ladies and Gentlemen I'm am not making any sense. None of this makes sense. And so you have to remember when you're in that jury room deliberating and conjugating the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No. Ladies and Gentlemen of this deposed jury it does not make sense. If Chewbacca lives on Endor you must acquit. The defense rests.

      "If Chewbacca lives on Endor you must acquit. The defense rests."

      That was a great episode. I know this is a geeky thing to say, but I can't help it: chewbacca is from kashyyyk. Not kishic.
