I defended myself in court against two lying cops. Idiots thought I was bluffing when I said I'd recorded the whole thing (I'd swapped out the memory card before they got a chance to take the camera ... they 'accidentally' erased completely unrelated material, while I still had the other card under my watch strap. One of them took no notes on the day and made his report over month later than his colleague. I pointed out that he had an entire paragraph _verbatim_ from the other guy, and also they both had my co-defendant's date of birth wrong , adding a year to his age (despite it being recorded clearly and correctly in the booking procedure). My last question was to ask him to explain the striking 'similarities' and the shared error to the judge. He sat there with his mouth open, and I said "I have no more use for this witness". The judge would have lost her temper if I referred to the cop as a 'guy', but I was definitely thinking of this scene when I said it.

His line of questioning here is so brilliant. He gains the witness’ trust by relating to him with a mutual enjoyment of grits, displays a supposed mastery of the topic by asking “regular, creamy or al dente” to intimidate the witness and then curveballs him by asking if they were instant grits, knowing well already that “no self-respecting southerner uses instant grits.” Its a perfect trap that no one in the courtroom even sees coming.

"Regular, creamy, or al dente" also has a practical reason: if he cooked his grits "al dente," then his cooking time might have been less than 20 minutes, and if they were creamy, it might have been more. By locking in to saying he cooked his grits "regular," he can't say that he didn't take so long to cook them because he likes them a little crunchy or something like that.

Double plot twist: Mr. Tipton doesn’t know how to actually cook grits. Being a self respecting southerner he’s always been ashamed of himself for this. Well on this morning he went to the SOS to buy some grits so he could try and make them for his breakfast once again for the billionth time. As always, he failed to cook his grits and subsequently ruined his breakfast. Mr. Tipton now enraged at a life of failures went back to the SOS where he shot the clerk in a fit of jealous frustration. You see the clerk was also a blue ribbon winner at the county fair 3 years running for his famous grits. Mr. Tipton then panicked realizing what he had done, he ran back to his house where he called the law and described witnessing a shooting just moments earlier where he described the two “youts”.

I just get into the whole Hollywood star making idea in terms of how there's so many double standards. Soap operas often are accused of using "pretty people" with minimal talent, but then you see the one kind of homely person and you wonder how they "made it" in Hollywood. Here, a short, New York Italian with a VERY pronounced Brooklyn accent can be a star. Most of the time, people with heavy accents are trained to suppress their accents, although some actors I've heard still pronounce certain words a certain way, despite losing the accent. Not only that, but he gets roles beyond the stereotypical Italian mob guy and casting directors take advantage of his being short to put him in broad comedies where his "tough guy" image is used for comedic effect.

It would not have been cool if I did that after you responded to it, but that's not what happened. I caught the mistake almost right away and corrected it. Since you like repeating things, how about I repeat this: R. H. Kingpin3 days ago Al dente is a common term used to describe something cooked in a manner to keep it firm or firmer. *It is used* for pasta, *grits* and lentils *frequently.* Just wanna dredge up the fact that you never address this lie of yours and now you just want to deflect from it by bringing up part of a post that I deleted that no one has responded to yet. Keep it up, buttercup. It's funny how your bruised ego shines through in your posts. Just admit you fucked up already. Such a petty thing to maintain, this bruised ego of yours.

This scene shows how a lawyer impeaches a witness. Maury Chaykin who played the witness did a phenomenal job of "falling apart" and projecting humility to the audience.....a lot tougher role to perform than Joe Pesci's role of attacking. Director Jonathon Lynn did a magnificent job on this scene. The consistent theme of this film was about humiliating Alabama and short-sighted southern culture for a careless judicial mishap. The best part was the court's humility and admission of error....a lovable authentic finish that drew respect.
