Could be. I only started laughing because they started laughing, lol. Didn't see anything inherently funny with the "lawyers", for a lack of a better term.

I've had a lot of sobering thoughts in my time Del Boy, it's them that started me drinking!

I think they were laughing at the absurdity of being accused of something they knew they hadn't done.. They didn't realise they would be found guilty

Yes, didn't they laugh the loudest when the prosecutor was reading the offenses of his aunt, dad and the others as the bomb makers and distributors? I just think they found the whole thing absurd.

I think it was mostly nerves, but his extremely posh voice probably threw them too. They'd probably never ever seen anyone speak like that in real life.
