* Anti-video game activist [[wikipedia:Jack Thompson (activist)|Jack Thompson]], whose antics are the stuff of legend if you followed his crusade against the internet community in general. His relentless and pointless attacks against Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins (of ''[[Penny Arcade]]'' fame) as well as Scott Ramsoonair (creator of webcomic ''[[VG Cats]]'') goes beyond merely amoral and catapults into [[Cloudcuckoolander]] territory.

Refusing to enter his client's guilty plea (yet again illegal), Gutensohn gets Ragon to declare the ''National Firearms Act'' unconstitutional, then resigns as Miller's council (this is illegal, but Gutensohn falsely claimed to be unable to travel to do so) once the case was appealed and hit the Supreme Court. This left the Supreme Court without any arguments from the defendant (who was murdered before the trial ended) and free to declare the law constitutional. As of 2016 the Supreme Court refuses to hear any case to the contrary under precedent, despite the obvious criminal activity that resulted in the verdict, [[The Bad Guy Wins|making the gambit by two highly corrupt lawyers completely successful]].
