So when the defense attorney says in his closing argument to the jury, "I expect you to return a verdict of not guilty" he's what? Kidding?

Isn't the defense attorney an officer of the court, as is the judge?

Are you suggesting there is nothing wrong with a judge saying that the jury has to find somebody guilty?

Not even you could be this stupid.

Check that...you can.
