Psychopaths Seek Killer Representation

Anyone know a good lawyer? We're not too guilty.

Psychopaths Seek Killer Representation
by Nomar Knight


     It's not easy to kill people in front of audiences and get away with it.  Horror characters are under enormous pressure to literally get away with murder.  Not all of them have supernatural powers.  Some just wear strange costumes. 
     Well, I'm here to complain about the flaws that hardworking psychopaths face during their legal representation.  You'd be surprised to discover that not all horror characters are rich, therefore they get thrown to the lions.  Some of the lawyers representing the highly skilled artists, (Carving the skin off victims while they're screaming takes great skill and patience.) find it reprehensible that their defense lawyers are completely incompetent.  Here are a few examples of actual transcriptions. 


These are from a book called Disorder in the American

Courts, and are things people actually said in court, word

for word, taken down and now published by court reporters

 that had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges

 were actually taking place.

  ____________________________________________

ATTORNEY: Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know about it until the next morning?

WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam?

 ____________________________________

ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the twenty-year-old, how old is he?

WITNESS: He's twenty, much like your IQ.

____________________________________

 ATTORNEY: She had three children, right?

WITNESS: Yes.

 ATTORNEY: How many were boys?

WITNESS: None.

 ATTORNEY: Were there any girls?

 WITNESS: Your Honor, I think I need a different attorney.

 Can I get a new attorney?

 ____________________________________________

 ATTORNEY: How was your first marriage terminated?

 WITNESS: By death.

 ATTORNEY: And by whose death was it terminated?

  WITNESS: Take a guess.

  ____________________________________________

 ATTORNEY: Can you describe the individual?

 WITNESS: He was about medium height and had a beard.

 ATTORNEY: Was this a male or a female?

 WITNESS: Unless the Circus was in town I'm going

 with male.

______________________________________

ATTORNEY: Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you

 performed on dead people?

 WITNESS: All of them.. The live ones put up too much

of a fight.

______________________________________

ATTORNEY: Do you recall the time that you examined the body?

WITNESS: The autopsy started around 8:30 p.m.

 ATTORNEY: And Mr. Denton was dead at the time?

 WITNESS: If not, he was by the time I finished.

 ____________________________________________

 And the best for last:

 ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy,

did you check for a pulse?

 WITNESS: No.

 ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure?

WITNESS: No.

ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing?

WITNESS: No.

ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient

was alive when you began the autopsy?

WITNESS: No.

ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor?

WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.

ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?

WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.

Okay, so our favorite psychopaths don't always get the best legal representation, but the media has a way of complaining about the wrong things. Here a few headlines that got my attention.
