Big Guns

As a master of all devastatingly effective yet fictional trial tactics, I have a new one to share with you. It is a new objection, one that should be used sparingly for maximum effect, and one which should be used only when the context is completely nonsensical. Witness as follows:

---
Atty: So Mr. X, you don't actually have any first hand knowledge about this incident, do you?

Vice: Objection -- your mom's face doesn't have any first hand knowledge!
---

Now, if used at the appropriate (re: entirely inappropriate) places, this little gem will swing the court to your side with all deliberate speed. Because after all, there's nothing a judge or jury respects more than someone with enough cajones to call out your adversary's mom's face.
