Description

The comic features a courtroom scene with a judge and a lawyer. The judge, wearing a black robe, is speaking to the lawyer, who is sitting at a table. Here's the text from the comic:

Judge: "We're concerned that the phrase 'conclusive DNA evidence' might bias the jury. We would prefer the prosecution say 'mayyyyybe,' followed by a meaningful wink."

Lawyer: "Also, instead of 'stabbing,' we would prefer 'knife donation.'"

The comic uses humor to address legal terminology, illustrating an absurd request to soften the language used in a trial.
