Roy Black is one of the nation’s premier defense attorneys. He is defending Texas multimillionaire John Goodman who is being tried on charges of DUI manslaughter for killing a recent college graduate in Wellington, Florida. Witnesses saw Goodman consuming eight Mind Erasers - Kahlua, vodka and tonic mixed together and sucked down real fast through a straw – at a bar before driving away in his $250,000 Bentley, running a stop sign and T-boning the victim’s Hyundai, pushing it into a canal where the young man drowned.
In his opening statement, Black claimed that the Bentley malfunctioned, describing it this way: "As it gets close to the stop sign all of a sudden the car surges forward, you see him trying to control this enormously powerful car." Black also claimed that Goodman was sober at the time and that he got drunk only after leaving the scene of the crash.
The $250,000 Bentley malfunctioned? Goodman got drunk only after leaving the scene? Yeah, right! Roy Black shows us exactly why the only difference between a lawyer and a liar is the spelling.

I saw a guy get run over by a truck out in front of my house last week. The investigating officer asked me if I knew which law firm the guy worked for.
When I asked him how he knew he was an attorney, the officer replied...."No Skid Marks."
That really happened....
