He has gained some noticeable attention across Suit companies as the first Cog to be pronounced dead (unable to be manufactured after defeat), after being shot by Elvis from a cannon during The Last Stand at the end of Break the Law.
The battle ran exactly the same as the Chief Justice battle with normal tiers remaining from the original battle. The only major difference was that the Witness Stand-In's jump attack during the battle did no damage and did not knock down any Toons. Others include various text changes as Break the Law entered different phases.
The ARG WSI Battle
The Witness Stand-In was once available to be fought directly at the final days of Break The Law Phase 3. It was also the final part of the Pink Slip ARG that coincided with this phase.
The Witness Stand-In, fed up, challenging the group of four Toons who were able to seat the entire Jury by themselves.
Once a team of four Toons entered the Witness Stand-In battle inside the Courthouse and defeated all the Cogs, the Jury Round started as normal. However, if the team managed to seat all 12 Juror spots, a special instance of the boss would start.
After challenging the Toons, the battle would begin. It functioned like any Manager Boss, a Cog with a unique health pool and specialized cheats to put them in the Cogs' favor.

The Witness Stand-In would summon down 3 new Cogs varying from levels 12-20, depending on the previous fight's tier. There was a 20% chance this would include Executive Cogs. If the Witness Stand-In was Soaked, this cheat would occur the following round.
>Had a chance to happen when 2-4 Cogs were in battle total. Everything, including SOS Cards (with the exception of Cogs Miss as explained later), Unites and Doodles missed for that round, minus Toon-Up Gags for the Toon targeted and any Trap Gags. Any active Cogs Miss and Lure would be removed. However, starting a Cogs Miss SOS on the same turn he used Cease & Desist would allow it to work contrary to the above. If the Witness Stand-In was Soaked and he cannot do Jury Notice, this cheat would occur the following round.
Rewards
After slowly whittling down the Witness Stand-In's HP to 0, he would mutter his revenge before flying away from the battle.
Once the battle is rid of the remaining Cog minions and is completely over, the Toons would get a multitude of rewards.
The following rewards are obtained no matter how many times that the Toons defeat the Witness Stand-in:
However, for the first time the Witness Stand-in is defeated, Toons are also granted the following unique rewards:
The seventh final Pink Slip Piece.
A free Pink Slip if the other six pieces had been gathered up before hand.
A Special Background and Nameplate.
And a special Skelecog hat that looked identical to the Witness Stand-In's!

"I went to university for coporate law, not this..."
"Let me guess... You're Toons, aren't you?"
"Attack!!"
Opening Cutscene (Version 3)
"And another elevator opens to the courtroom..."
"Hello, 'Cogs', we once again have that bear on trial."
"Perhaps today is the day we can finally convict him of 'Breaking the Law'."
"You must be familiar with dealing with cases like these."
"I don't see how you couldn't be, after all... you ARE Toons."
"Attack!!"

"What's that sound?"
Ending Cutscene (Version 2)
"As I suspected... The defense won..."
"But, I declare a mistrial. A new one will be scheduled."
"I wish I wasn't directed to follow the same, repetitive set of protocols as his substitute."
"Ugh... This is the worst part."
Ending Cutscene (Version 3)
"I don't know why I thought this trial would be any different..."
"I guess I should file a mistrial, maybe next time I'll finally convict that bear."
"Just endure a little more, Atticus, their 'Resistance' doesn't know what they've gotten themselves into..."
"As for YOU-"
ARG Battle
ARG Battle Cutscene
"I've had enough!"
"I have worked tirelessly, day and night, to get this department in order."
"I cannot stand idly by and watch my efforts crumble before me!"
"I'm tired of your antics, Toons..."
"You have made not only made a mockery of C.O.G.S. Incorporated, but my family as well."
"It is in such circumstances that I stand resolute to my cause. I cannot apologize for what is to come."
"En garde, Toons! Show me this 'power' you claim to have."
ARG Battle Ending
"If you believe this is the end for me, think again."
"Ugh... I don't get paid enough for this..."

"Have you ever considered how you make US feel?"
"You've exhausted me, Toon... I haven't had time to rest with you 'Breaking the Law'"

"You've caused nothing but anguish for me!"
"There is much more beyond the surface!"

Trivia
The Witness Stand-In's real name is likely a reference to the To Kill A Mockingbird character Atticus Finch, a lawyer.
The Witness Stand-In was the first Cog that did not follow any standard HP formula from both regular and Executive Cogs.
A regular Level 50 Cog of this type should have 3978 HP. He had roughly 1.1177x more health.
The Witness Stand-In was the first Cog to have unique quotes for his attacks, as opposed to the standard ones that every Cog uses.
The Witness Stand-In is the mechanical father of Redd 'Heir' Wing.
The Witness Stand-In has a Legal Eagle husband named Clarence (often shortened to Clancy), who he had met and graduated from Wisgonesin together.
According to the Treasure Trove, Atticus Wing's surname prior to marrying Clancy was Atticus Wiggwurt.
The Witness Stand-In was the first Cog that was not shown to explode after his health goes down to 0.
From various Corporate Clash tweets, Atticus Wing was originally a Version 2.0 Big Wig that had lost his outer shell to save Clancy from a falling hammer.
