The flashbacks were a weird an unnecessary choice and I do wonder why no one in the editing process called bullshit.
But Spock’s joke was not only amusing, but perfect in the context of the episode. It had already been established that he is not fond of the prosecutor, so clearly he was not only sticking up for Chin-Riley, he was sticking it to said prosecutor.
Vulcans don’t lie… but they occasionally misdirect.
