I always thought it was the first but today several trial bros said you never use the french pronunciation.

depends on the region. it's almost always the french pronunciation unless you live in the south.

I once used the latin in front of the jury pool to the judge, "examinatio de veritate dicenda", and think I won that one before opening argument

during trials recently i pretend to be an asian man with a thick southern accent and i say to the jury "these fancy schmancy defense lawyers call this "vwah deer," i don't know what that means, i call this a conversation between me and you to pick a jury to see which one of yall can help us out" then i take my cowboy hat off and kiss my cross necklace.

i got defensed on every one of those trials.
