Nadelhaft

A lawyer so incompetent that he objects to his own line of questioning.

Browning's Lawyer: You didn't know what caused the damage to his hand did you?
Cool English Guy: Dr Feelgood had told me he had sustained an injury on one of his fingers.
Browning's Lawyer: Objection! Hearsay.
Judge: You asked the question.

Morgan: Did he just pull a Nadelhaft?
Vasquez (opposing counsel): I don't know if I could ever object to something you did.
Morgan: Another screwy dame!
