All is well that ends in pizza.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I think the problem is that the defense was supposed to mention that they were bringing up the existence of malware during the pre-trial phase. Since they surprised the prosecution with it, the prosecution was able to ask that it be disregarded.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Why though? It isn't like this is something that the prosecution didn't know ANYTHING about it. They knew about this during discovery, right?

Is there a built-in tool in OS X (Tiger) or a free utility I can download for batch changing file extensions? We've got several hundred MP4 files with a mix of .mp4, .mov, and no extensions that ALL need to have .mp4 attached before we can send them to the client.
It seems like something Automater should be able to do, but I've never used it before. Worst case scenario is I spend the rest of the day renaming them manually, but I'd really rather not if I can avoid it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You should be able to do that easily at the command line.
Um, my caffeine hasn't kicked in yet - anyone else want to try?
eta: I googled - this might help: Batch File Rename By File Extension in Unix
for example:
#change .html files to php
for file in *.html ; do mv $file `echo $file | sed 's/(.*.)html/1php/'` ; done
You'll probably want to backup the files first....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Thanks guys - I figured out how to do it in Automater, though.

I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding of the legal system is that you are supposed to disclose the major points of your case during the pretrial phase in order to ensure that everyone gets a fair trail. If the defense fails to disclose any aspect of their case the prosecution can assume it won't come up in the trial.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Not exactly. In criminal cases the prosecution has to disclose exculpatory material, but other than that the extent to which they have to share information before trial is up to the court. Generally, though, the court will require that a party intending to use an expert should make significant disclosures about what the expert tested, what it will testify to, and what materials it reviewed, so that the other party can prepare adequately. But aside from the procedures of individual judges/courts, a defendant is not entitled to know what evidence the prosecution has against him and neither is the prosecution entitled to know the details of the defense before trial. Civil trials are more disclosure-oriented, though.
