Would a judge send me to prison for killing George Lucas? I would like to see if it’s possible to get away with that murder.
Judge: “How does the defendant plead?”
My attorney: “We plead ‘not guilty’, your honor.”
Judge: “Present your opening argument, counselor.”
My attorney: “Thank you, your honor. Members of the jury, my client killed George Lucas. I admit that. But in his defense, I would like you all to watch Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull. The defense rests.”
Judge: “Excellent argument, counselor. Case dismissed.”
That’s how I imagine the whole thing would play out. Once the jury saw the insanity of crystal alien skeletons with psychic powers, flying saucers, bowl-cut Commie bad guys, greaser punks fencing on the back of speeding vehicles, jungle vine swinging with hundreds of CGI monkeys in tow, etc., I’m guessing that not only would I be acquitted of all charges, but I’d be given the damn key to the city.
