QotD: Questionable legal tactics

This is what I like to call a “reverse insanity defense”. You raise the defense in the hope that the judge is certifiably out of his friggin’ mind and grants it. Sadly, it rarely gets clients off the hook. It is, however, an excellent method of destroying your credibility with the court.
