Painful: Drunk Lawyer Lies Incoherently As Judge Asks About His Morning

Background: The guy shows up stinking drunk in the morning to defend a man facing life in prison for kidnapping. The judge interrogates him pleasantly through his absurd lies until finally she orders the bailiff to breathalyze him.

This is just the first part. Here's the second, and the third, and and the fourth. Skip to part 4 if you get bored -- parts 2 and 3 are just kind of confusing as his goofy story comes apart at the seams. Part 4 is where he gets his breathalyzer, then says he's drinking because he lost his grandma either 2 weeks or one month ago (depending on the version of the story he tells), and then also tries to slip it in that his brother died in 19XX; precise year unknown, as the judge cuts him off. Seems to me, though, that this having occurred in 2006, it's kinda weak to blame you drunkenness on a death occurring in the previous millennium.
