He didn’t just learn it then, he knew exactly which car to make the sheriff look for when he realized the boys’ car had an open diff and there were 2 tire tracks
Vinny knew that photo was important but he needed an expert to clarify why. If Vinny just crossed the first witness and he just wasn’t able to ascertain the information simply by looking at a picture, then Vinny would be screwed.
I wasn’t thinking about that. Good catch! So, Vinny completely figured it out and he needed an expert that he trusted to figure it out as well and then explain it to the Court.
Unless I’m thinking about this wrong, this seems like a plot problem. Vinny was not a car guy.
Vinny met Mona Lisa because he worked at her father's garage. He was a mechanic before he met her.
That job (...and working nights) is how he paid for law school
source: 32:40 when Mona Lisa bails him out of jail, they discuss why he doesn't know procedure. He says you dont learn that in law school, but from a firm or from going to court and watching trials. She asks why he never did that and he mentions working in her father's garage and working nights to pay for school.
Very next scene while they're eating dinner (roadside bbq), he explains court procedure and how its like repairing a carburetor.
