I’m not Lion!

“Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury. I implore you! How can anyone believe ANY of Mr Redmayne’s full testimony when he can’t even tell the truth about his own identity?! Is he lion?? He’s ALWAYS lyin’!! He’s been a lion the whole time! Always has been and will continue to be! Your honour, I move for this case to be dismissed for Mr Redmayne’s clear contempt of court in this trial!”

It would go on to be Stephen Covey KC’s greatest victory and the making of his career. He was destined for the Supreme Court one day, and the Redmayne case was a key feather in his wig. He would take this win to his grave and go down in history as one the world’s greatest legal minds of his generation.

Artist notes: I don't know, I mean, is he lion? Is he lyin'? I love me a good pun... or is it a homonym? Either way, I really love drawing lions and lawyers wearing wigs.
