While Lisa gets all the credit for being an expert witness for the boys, you gotta give kudo's to Vinnie for realizing the tire marks couldn't be from a Skylark due to it having a single axle in the first place! And wouldn't he have normally been allowed a recess in order for him to prep Lisa before her testimony? What if she hadn't noticed the same thing? Could he have asked leading questions since the judge did rule she was a "hostile" witness (due to their previous fight), even though she was his witness?

And perhaps most importantly as someone born in England and moving to the US in my 30s it was my introduction to grits(although as I lived in New England instant!!!)

My recollection of the movie is that Vinnie noticed there was something odd about the tire tracks after seeing the picture Lisa took as well as another photo. He asks the Sheriff to do the investigation BEFORE Lisa even takes the stand, because the Sheriff comes back out into the hallway to find out why Vinnie wants him to do the search. We have to remember that Vinnie at one time also worked for Lisa's father, so its assumed that Vinnie also has some general automotive knowledge.

Though MCV is one of my Top Ten All-Time Favorites, I basically just have one major complaint on it. The Prosecution's so-called expert witness isn't even sharp enough to know actual tire sizes. There is no such thing as a "75R14" tire -- it's missing a KEY number, which is the tread size; that's the first three numbers, as in 185/75R14 (probably the size they meant). The 75 is simply an expression of a ratio of treadwall to width of the tread, and is therefore not complete; i.e., 75% of WHAT??

My favorite courtroom movie: Inherit the Wind. If you've never seen it (the original black and white with Spenser Tracy), much of the courtroom proceedings have been lifted word for word from the trial transcripts. It's the story of the Scopes Monkey Trial. If I were crafting a high school U.S. History class, I'd start with this movie. Who decides what can be taught in school? (If it's the school board, who chooses the school board? What if they decide to teach Bible over science? If it's individual teachers, what if a teacher decided to teach that Hitler had some good justification?) It's brilliant, and VERY close to the actual history.
