The way homer emphasizes the word "my" implies he knew what skinner was saying.

'Chicks on the bench." The judge probably suspected Lisa set her up for that.

Why is Lionel Hutz acting as a prosecutor?

[@ProsecutorZekrom]

He's not prosecuting, he's defending the waiter.

[@ge97aa]

​@@ProsecutorZekromThe waiter is not on Trial. Freddie Quimby is.

[@ProsecutorZekrom]

@@ge97aa He clearly defends (or tries to defend) the waiter. You can have two defence attorneys in a case

[@ge97aa]

The waiter (as the victim) was the chief witness in this criminal trial against Freddie Quimby. As the waiter is not on trial, why would he need a defense attorney? Quoting Lionel Hutz: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to prove to you not only that Freddie Quimby is guilty, but that he is also innocent of not being guilty." That's a prosecutor's opening statement.

[@ProsecutorZekrom]

@@ge97aa No, his job is to prove Freddy’s guilt but it’s at the request of his client.

It's the press corps rushing to report on the new information they just got to their head offices (this episode is from the era before cellphones). Also, Americans are prejudiced against foreigners.
