What Happened:
Bart was skateboarding and he was ran over by Mister Burns. Bart is taken to the hospital where the Simpsons meet Lionel Hutz who was offering his legal services. After Mr. Burns offers Homer 100 dollars (that according to homer would not even cover the medical bills) Homer goes to Lionel Hutz’s office in the Springfield Mall and asks for his help. Hutz is a corrupt lawyer, so he offers Homer Simpson a big cash settlement, even though he is not allowed to do it, and Homer decides to sue for 1,000,000 dollars.
The Trial:
The court is presided by Judge Moulton. ( who will be called Roy Snyder later on the show) In the beggining Blue-Haired lawyer reminds the court how rich and powerful Mr Burns is. Mr Burns says that he should be allowed to ran over all the kids he wants. Judge Moulton (Snyder) says that if he continues with this attitude he will hold him in contempt. Burns says you wouldn’t dare, and the judge cowardly says that he would not.
Bart and Mr Burns tell totally different stories in the stand. The jury appears to believe in Bart’s story and not to believe Mr Burns’. Bart’s testimony is backed up on “doctor” Nick Riviera’s diagnosis, who was hired by Lionel Hutz to make Bart look worse and also has an office in the Springfield Mall.
Barts Testimony:
After this Homer is offered a 500,000 dollar cash settlemen by Mr Burns. When he is discussing the deal with Marge Burns found out about the phony doctor Nick Rivera and corrupt lawyer Lionel Hutz, after this Burns retires the deal and releases the hounds.
Afterwords in the trial Blue-Haired lawyer calls to the stand Mrs. Homer J. Simpson, and Marge tells the truth about Bart’s accident and Nick Rivera. Burns proceeds to offer Simpson the sum of 0 dollars after this. Sadly we do not see Judge Moulton’s (Snyder) opinion on the case.
