Bill is charged with first-degree murder, and Stan as an accessory. Bill’s mother reminds him there is an attorney in the family: his cousin Vinny. Vinny manages to fool the trial judge, Chamberlain Haller, that he is experienced enough for the case. Except for lack of a murder weapon, it appears that the district attorney, Jim Trotter III, has a strong case. After Vinny’s poor showing at the hearing, Stan fires him and uses the public defender.
