Wikipedia sums it up perfectly:
“In a jury trial, a Chewbacca defense is a legal strategy in which a criminal defense lawyer tries to confuse the jury rather than refute the case of the prosecutor. It is an intentional distraction or obfuscation.
Because a Chewbacca defense distracts and misleads, it is an example of a red herring. It is also an example of an irrelevant conclusion, a type of informal fallacy in which one making an argument fails to address the issue in question.
The name Chewbacca defense comes from "Chef Aid", an episode of the American animated series South Park. The episode, which premiered on October 7, 1998, satirizes the O. J. Simpson murder trial-particularly attorney Johnnie Cochran's closing argument for the defense. In the episode, Cochran (voiced by Trey Parker) bases his argument on a false premise about the 1983 film Return of the Jedi. He asks the jury why a Wookiee like Chewbacca would want to live on Endor with the much smaller Ewoks when "it does not make sense". He argues that if Chewbacca living on Endor does not make sense-and if even mentioning Chewbacca in the case does not make sense-then the jury must acquit.
In the Simpson murder trial, the real Johnnie Cochran tried to convince jurors that a glove found at the crime scene, alleged to have been left by the killer, could not be Simpson's because it did not fit Simpson's hand. Because the prosecution relied on the glove as evidence of Simpson's presence at the scene, Cochran argued that the lack of fit proved Simpson's innocence: "It makes no sense; it doesn't fit; if it doesn't fit, you must acquit." "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit" was a refrain that Cochran also used in response to other points of the case.”

I get asked a lot about whether being a practicing attorney is like being a lawyer on TV. I love watching legal movies and courtroom dramas. It's one of the reasons I decided to become a lawyer. But sometimes they make me want to pull my hair out because they are ridiculous.
Today I'm taking a break from representing clients and teaching law students how to kick ass in law school to take on lawyers in the movies and on TV. While all legal movies and shows take dramatic license to make things more interesting (nobody wants to see hundreds of hours of brief writing), many of them have a grain of truth.
This is part of a continuing series of "Lawyer Reaction" videos. Got a legal movie or TV show you'd like me to critique? Let me know in the comments!

You can pull exact lyrics from songs and use them in a completely different song as long as ALL the words aren't the same and the music itself is different. Something like 'smack my bitch up' you can include in your own original song where you say 'if dat hoe don't bring da dosh ima smack my bitch up'. The objection is that people can't sue over use of sampling of same words because language is common to all and only a direct composition of the same words in a long enough string would constitute infringement such as copying an entire verse or chorus or something. KZbin also does not care about copyright law, they strike down infringing shit upon request and by content ID TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM BEING SUED as per DMCA law. A platform has the responsibility to prevent user uploads from infringing on copyright law or THEY can be sued so youtube takes a proactive and paranoid approach to protect themselves. Also, the idea of 'fair use' is a legal argument that must be challenged in court, you can't simply claim to youtube that your 2 seconds of a song is not infringing because it's fair use, you would have to take the copyright holder to court and prove it in a court of law and only then would youtube reverse the decision.

@GMF Moist leather gloves, that are supposed to be tight fitting in the first place, were kept in a Ziploc evidence bag. There was no possible way they would fit their original owner. That trial was a circus, no camera should ever been allowed inside. judge Ito was a joke, more concerned with looking good for the camera and what kind of book deal he could get out of it. Darden was an idiot, Marcia Clark was in the middle of her own divorce proceedings and was frequently late which made the jury hate her. That jury shouldn’t even have been trying to case it wasn’t even in the correct district they moved it to LA County just to make it easier for the media which was asinine because I completely change the jury pool and all of a sudden OJ gets a black jury including a bunch of women who spent their whole lives thinking he was a sex symbol. The prosecutors literally did everything wrong, they thought that women would be the best jurors because of the history of him abusing his wife when in fact the black women harbor resentment for the white wife and had no sympathy for her as a victim whatsoever. And this was before everybody on the planet knew about DNA evidence all the CSI shows didn’t exist so what seems completely obvious about of course it’s him the blood matches, flew right over the heads of the idiot jurors.

[@jefffawcett]

@Gerry C I'm sorry but that is the dumbest thing I've heard yet. There was an exact DNA blood match. There were footprints made by the Italian shoes OJ wore. There was his glove. There was the ridiculous claim that he just happened to break a glass and cut his hand that exact same night. Just think of that. In your entire life you might, once, cut your hand on a glass you break. We are supposed to believe that on this once in a lifetime night his ex-wife just happened to be murdered by a knife attack.

It's good to know that all you have to do if you ever face a foreclosure is to demand that the mortgage holder produce the ORIGINAL note during proceedings in court. If they cannot do so, they cannot foreclose. Sometimes it can't be located. It may be sitting in a file cabinet somewhere; and nobody knows where it is. It may be lost.
