Instead of putting mona lisa on the stand, couldnt vinny just put george wilbur back up if he was such an expert. He would have known this if he knew so much about cars. Wouldnt that have looked stronger from the jury point of view coming from him rather than a girlfriend of the defender.

Yes, of course.
But the film-makers were more concerned with creating comedy and humor. Not so much "simulating" what a real-life court case would look like.
The method you described would be quite legally sound and quite realistic, yet quite unfunny. The last being the most critical in the eyes of the film's writers and producers. -

To be honest, I have no idea what you are talking about.
Above, I posted this:
I am unsure that the producers of a comedy were trying to produce a comedy.
And, a funny one, at that.
Yes, I am unsure about this.
That post was 100% sarcastic. I thought that this would have been obvious.
To answer your question ("Did I even see this film?"): the answer is yes. I have seen it several times. -

To be honest, I have no idea what you are talking about.
When she was on the stand and claimed that there was no way the tire tracks were made by a Pontiac Tempest, Vinny asker her "are you sure?" and she answered "I'm positive" to signal to him that they were on the same page about the posi-trac rear end.
That's why the answer to "are you sure?" on this board is "I'm positive"
