What famous court stories have they done on Rick and Morty?
Image via Warner Bros.In Season 5 of Rick and Morty's "Meeseeks and Destroy," Rick and Morty were tried (unsuccessfully) in Giant's Court, where they were released since they were not read their rights. That would later be a major plot point in the Season 7 episode, "Rickfending Your Mort," which was a parody of clip show episodes.
In the episode, The Observers put them on trial for killing one of the Observers, but their court-appointed Observer successfully points out that they already DID a trial plot like this one, and after a flashback to the Season 5 episode, they then watched a bunch of other flashbacks to Rick and Morty doing embarrassing things. However, they WERE released.
Of course, this time, they are on trial in a cosmic environment, so those cases probably won't be something that they can cite (but if they could, you bet that Recapicron will be on hand to remind everyone about those earlier trials).
