Mmm, strange one this. Suppose now his team of lawyers will claim self defense if the report is true.

Indeed. Was it the Simpsons that coined "the Johnnie Cochran defense" term? I always think of OJ when these things happen.

Do you? This sword thing might just be plausible, might be, if the guy kicked down Power Ranger's door and went at him.

I normally think of OJ, on the following kind of scenario:
Ex-sporting hero, washed-out two-bit actor and crazed lunatic with severe self-esteem and control issues butchers ex-wife and lover, all evidence points to the fact, aside from one leather glove half a size two small after having been in the rain and then poorly stored in the exhibits' room, ex-washed up actor/sports star has grade A Hollywood lawyer versus a lame duck prosecutor, villain gets acquitted (in criminal proceedings...).

Anyway, enough of those scenarios.

"If the glove doesn't fit...you must acquit"
Gold, gotta give it to that Cochran. One smart fella.

Thinking about it, it may well have been "South Park". Anyway I remember watching a lot of trial on TV. Was on quite late in the UK though, but quite compelling all the same. I believe that Kato did not come across as being genuine. I think he got mullered on the stand.

He looked kinda like Christian Slater with big bad hair : )

Yeah, it's easy to get reality and South Park references confused, I do it all the time. That said, what is "reality"?

 

[Transk53]

Hope you find reality then.

It's relative....

(But dang, he was the hot looking bad guy...)
