The district attorney is an gruff, older attorney. He is a no nonsense attorney, and appears more competent at his job than most other lawyers in Springfield.

History

He is most famous for prosecuting Krusty in his infamous trial for robbing the Kwik-E-Mart. He was the man who forced Homer to pick Krusty out at the trial and he is also the one who inadvertently revealed Krusty's illiteracy.[1] He was again at the prosecution table when Judge Snyder was about to hand down a sentence at Bart's trial for Principal Skinner's murder and head of the Springfield Mafia although Burns' lawyer was questioning the witnesses.[2]

He was addressed a Senator by Brad Fletcher, a senate page, who frantically called him when learned from Lisa about Congressman Bob Arnold being bribed.[3]

He is presiding over the House of Representatives for a bill for the immediately evacuation of Springfield because it was in the path of a comet when another congressman tacked on a rider for $30-million funding to the perverted arts and the bill is defeated.[4]

Behind the Laughter

His appearance was based on famed American defense attorney Clarence Darrow.[5]
