	Chewbacca Defense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Chewbacca Defense is a satirical term for any legal strategy that seeks to overwhelm its audience with nonsensical arguments and thus confuse them into failing to take account of the opposing arguments and, ultimately, to reject them.
		The term Chewbacca Defense was first used in the South Park episode "Chef Aid," which premiered on October 7, 1998 as the fourteenth episode of the second season.
		Cochran's use of this defense is so successful that the jury finds Chef guilty of "harassing a major record label" and sets his punishment as either a two million dollar fine to be paid within twenty-four hours or, failing that, four years in prison.

		Truth is not necessarily a defense to the charge, especially if the court can be convinced the words or gestures were intended to provoke anger or violence, or otherwise disturb the public tranquillity.
		You obviously want to treat your own injuries, and you have a legal obligation to treat the injuries of the people that you caused to become injured, even if they were feloniously assaulting you at the time.
