Possible spoilers from Season 4 Ep 6.

Tyrion Lannister should have hired a lawyer to represent him. The old man in charge of medicine laid out a perfect defense for him, if he had been cross examined. Sansa ran off in fear. Sansa's friend, the king's fool, was found dead with the poison. Sansa had a clear motive to kill Joffrey. Sansa may have been Tyrion's wife but Tyrion never wanted to marry her and had no connection with her.

Shaes testimony would be easily refuted, that jealous whore would be shut down.

Trial by combat... you can only roll the dice so many times my little friend...

One of the most epic moments in Series episode history as far as im concerned. Such an amazing actor.

His lawyer would have ended up dead. He didn't have a real chance and he knew it.

Viper actually won, just didn't follow through.

Pretty sure there are no lawyers.

I'm sure Tywin would have never allowed him to have a proper defense. His time in King's Landing was over, Joffrey was just an excuse.

Yeah, totally. He could have filed multiple motions to suppress evidence under Wong Sun. Just about all of the testimony against him was inadmissible, yet no one ever objected on his behalf. Judge should have been recused, and a full-on investigation into prosecutorial improprieties should have been launched. Worst case, even if he loses, he ties up the case for years with appeals and in the interim, there is likely a regime change owing to the death of one or more kings. For being touted as such a strategic mastermind, he really fricked this one up.

Oh, and
