Legal counselors shared the biggest fails they've witnessed in the courtroom from lawyers and defendants. These are absolute gems. Sometimes, especially in tense courtrooms where the pressure's high and people's nerves are fried, EVERYTHING comes undone. 

If this list left you wanting some more courtroom drama, check out some of the most obscure laws lawyers have ever used in cases right here!

These lawyers are criminally clever. Man, it is crazy what has been written into the book of law that can ultimately serve to get your reckless self off the hook. Knowledge is power, and this is all the proof you need. 

Never underestimate the internet when it comes to dissecting specific scenes from Pirate of the Caribbean movies. It started when someone pointed out the ridiculousness of having a legendary pirate standing in a bucket of water as a loophole for his curse. It ended with multiple users trying to figure out exactly how he figured this out, and what other curse-circumnavigating activities he could engage in, like sitting in a wheelbarrow. For more awesome pop culture weirdness from Tumblr, here's the time users tried to figure out what day Ice Cube's Good Day was, and here's the time they tried to figure out what angels look like.

Before there was Netflix and Chill, there was Fencing or Frenching. This young woman's ludicrous tale is one hell of a medieval-esque emotional rollercoaster. Apparently you can find the original script that inspired the eventual Twitter thread, over here.

Defense lawyers have some steeled resolve. They wrestle with all kinds of crazed revelations from people looking to live their lives outside the cold metal bars that a law-abiding society would possibly, like to see them behind. In the case of these guilty clients, you're apt to learn a thing or two, about what you can expect from a defense lawyer, if you ever find yourself in need of one. 

Chaos is ready to break out at a moment's notice in the courtroom. You never know when someone's steely poker face could give way to a hellish show of full-on CRAZY. 

The context you need to know to fully enjoy this 419 scammer getting bested here, is that they apparently sent a check that was $1,500 over the price of a Craigslist offering. The phony check would've made a nice little dent in lawyer dad's account if he went ahead and tried to cash it. Granting access is the downfall there. Fortunately lawyer dad was not f**king around. So, behold: Scambaiting at its very finest. 

How do court recorders keep straight faces?! 

Some of these methods are a mere inconvenience while others are life-shattering. This is spitefulness at its worst.

The work of a criminally shameless attention-seeking troll, or what?

Asking the question in the first place gives off all kinds of shady vibes.
