[@Jonathan83X]

To be fair, that argument would have been seen as desperate at that point by the judge, so it would have only stalled things at best. He couldn't prove anymore his dad didn't steal Lampwick's work, so he just caved and tried to gain sympathy from the audience by arguing, "What choice do we have? It's the only way we can make good stuff." Sure, it made him look worse for spouting that rhetoric, but he was screwed either way. He was not weaseling his way out of this and he knew it.

[@VGamingJunkieVT]

@@Jonathan83X He wouldn’t have to prove it wasn’t stolen, our justice system is innocent until proven guilty. Reasonable doubt works for the accused.

[@Jonathan83X]

@@VGamingJunkieVT While I agree reasonable doubt could have possibly still worked for Meyers Jr, it would have been very short lived at best. Let's say he did argue the point, "The date could have been faked." Well, then all they would have to do to clear that up is bring in some experts to closely examine the signature and paper it was on to see if it was indeed from that time period and after they verified it was, it would have been case over. Like I said in my last comment, Meyers Jr knew he couldn't weasel his way out of this. He was screwed no matter what he did from that point on, so he tried pleading his case to the audience because he knew the judge pretty much had made up his mind about the case after seeing that artwork.

Technically, if they ~did~ have a copy, by law, they must give it to the defense. Edit: Actually, any information must be shared between the plaintiff and the defense. If any side has exonerating evidence, by law it must be shared.

[@elon4417]

[@LeRoiEnJaune]

Y'know, I'd say 'It should've come up in discovery,' but I think we all know from Phoenix Wright, that universe has NO concept of discovery. Or due process!

[@sarcasticguy4311]

Let me also add that Nixon (not that you'll read about this on any news outlet) was recently exonerated of all wrong-doing in the Watergate Scandal because the lawyers working on the prosecution recently all died. All of their notes were seized and all sorts of exculpatory evidence was there that proved Nixon had zero hand in what happened. The truth finally comes out. Too little, too late, but it's out.

[@LeRoiEnJaune]

@@sarcasticguy4311 What you're claiming is so absurd and unrelated to the post I nearly sh*t my pants laughing. For the record, Shephard's book mostly casts doubt on Dean and Sirica due to their misrepresentation of the strength of the evidence and Sirica's lack of impartiality. It casts doubt on Nixon's involvement with hush payments, but that's about it. Only the people who think that Nixon was impeached for literally and directly ordered the Watergate break-in would consider him to be exonerated by Shephard.
