The defence rests...

[sawyl]

In response to Marcel Berlins' complaint that modern barristers are boring, two lawyers have written to the Guardian with a couple of memories that prove that not all QCs are dull:

When representing a man charged with masturbating a dolphin, Tony had adduced evidence that the aquatic mammal sometimes uses its sexual organ as a foraging tool. In closing, he reminded the jury that "You don't often see a man pushing his trolley round Tesco's with his penis, do you?". Unable to disagree, they duly acquitted.

Blimey...
