Saul Goodman Defends Griffith

NOW YOUR HONOR, I KNOW IT'S BEEN ARGUED BY THE PROSECUTION MY CLIENT, MR. GRIFFITH, HAD MURDERED HUNDREDS OF INNOCENT MEN IN ORDER TO USURP THE AUTHORITY OF AN ABSOLUTE MONARCHY, BUT LET'S BE HONEST, THE ONLY WITNESSES TO THIS EVENT IS AN EDGY RAMPAGING SWORDSMAN WITH ANGER MANAGEMENT AND HIS MENTALLY ILL TOMBOY GIRLFRIEND. BESIDES, CAN THE PROSECUTION TRULY ADMIT EVIDENCE OF SOME TRANSCENDENTAL ENTITY OR LAW GOVERNED BY CAUSALITY? THE RECORD SHOWS THAT MY CLIENT IS A VICTIM OF UNJUST TORTURE AND BRUTALITY SO IF ANYTHING THE COURT SHOULD CONSIDER HIM ELIGIBLE FOR MANDATORY RESTITUTION.

Saul Goodman appears as Griffith’s lawyer, defending him in court against accusations that he murdered hundreds of innocent men to seize power. The joke is the absurd legal reframing of Griffith’s atrocities, while dismissing the witnesses and supernatural evidence from Berserk. It is used as a reaction to comically over-the-top defense of an obviously guilty or evil character.
