    Default Re: Is It Legal to Print Fake Pretend Play Money if We Change a Lot of Features

    It is not entirely true because the term "the law" infers what we will get in trouble for if we violate it. We are not concerned about laws that we can break and we will not get punished for, like, going 5 miles over the speed limit. So, going five over is a law that nobody cares about. So, that law is not "what it is"...as you term it.
    Then you define the phrase differently than I do.

    It's about manipulating a naive jury to overlook, excuse, or totally disregard laws. It is the undoing of laws and making them not "what they are." So, many laws are not worth the paper they are written on after a lawyer does his dance in front of the jury.
    My impression of your posts here and elsewhere on this forum is that you place too much importance on the lawyer's powers of persuasion and too little on the actual evidence in the case and the law. Sure, the lawyer's ability to persuade the jury has an impact and can be significant, but most juries also do take account of the evidence they heard and the judge's instructions on the law. A good speech at the closing argument won't be enough in most cases overcome crappy evidence or law that disfavors the client's position. Most jurors can tell when a lawyer is totally BSing them in the closing argument, though there are exceptions where juries are totally clueless. A lawyer needs to have the sense to tailor his/her argument to the particular jury he/she is trying to win over.
