No kidding. "Your honor, my client showed his driver's license to the boy because he wanted to prove that he lived in the area. By the way, how many drinks did the State's prime witness have that evening?"
Hahahaha
good one
Exactly. If he knocked on the kid's window and said, "look, I don't feel like dragging you down to the police station so cut me some slack" what would they have said? He didn't say he was a police officer. It's the same weasel way that cops get out of entrapment issues when they respond to "Are you a cop" with "Do I look like a cop?"
As stated before. No jury will convict him.
Mr. Boy, were you sitting behind the wheel of the automobile?
Yes.
Were the doors locked? I warn you that you are under oath.
Yes.
Did you have the car's keys with you?
Yes.
Were they in the ignition?
I don't remember.
You were sitting behind the wheel of the car, doors locked, and you don't remember if the keys were in the ignition?
Yes.
How much did you have to drink that evening?
[Objection. Relevance. Move to Strike]
Your Honor, I have witnesses who will testify that my client was under the impression that the boy had been drinking, and that this motivated him to ask the boy to step out of the vehicle.
[Overruled.]
How much did you have to drink that evening?
A few beers.
A few beers? More than three or four? More than six?
I don't remember.
Have you ever been arrested for drunk driving?
[Objection. Relevance. State's witness is not on trial here]
Your Honor, I have witnesses that will testify that the boy's mother and father were concerned that the boy would drive off, and that motivated my client to ask him to step out of the vehicle.
[Overruled]
Have you ever been arrested for drunk driving?
Yes.
Your Honor, defense introduces Exhibit A, which is an affadavit from the Wisconsin Secretary of State that show the boy's driver's license was suspended at the time of this incident.
A monkey could take it from here.
