In the court room scene when "Lisa" is on the witness stand, a reference is made about the type of car etc. that was used in the crime. Both Vinny and Lisa comment that the "defense is wrong!" When it should be the "Prosecution is wrong." They are the defense, if they are wrong, they would lose the case.
This is not a slip up. The lines leading to this statement were to the effect that 'it has been argued by the defense that two sets of guys in two similar cars'. Vinnie was making a point that his case was wrong and that there was another explaination.

Were you even paying attention to the questioning? They were referring to the defense's theory that two different sets of guys driving identical metallic mint green 1964 Buick Skylark convertibles were both at the Sac-O-Suds. And they (the defense) were WRONG because the real perpetrators were driving a 1963 Pontiac Tempest.

Actually, that statement was made by Miss Vito to point out that the defense was indeed wrong...remember, Vinny's defense was that two sets of guys were at the Sack O' Suds at the same time, driving identical metallic mint green 1964 Buick Skylark convertibles.
He showed Miss Vito the picture and she told him that the defense was wrong...she then went on to detail how it wasn't a Buick Skylard at all...it was a 1963 Pontiac Tempest that left the burn-out rubber marks.
Therefore, "The defense is wrong," was used to capture the rapt attention of everyone in the courtroom...thus ensuring they heard the REAL defense.
