If Chuck checks the date in the newspaper, Chuck will try to remember what happened that day. He will remember he had a repairman show up. And when he calls the repair company up, not only will they say the appointment was canceled, they may recall that a woman canceled it. Hmm....

The whole point of the testimony was to highlight Chuck as mentally ill; thus, discrediting him and giving justification for Jimmy's actions. The lamp on the newspaper was (seemingly) a piece of evidence to further that narrative.
They also made a big deal of the tape being duplicated, implying entrapment. It wasn’t the smoking gun of the case (assuming this episode wrapped it up), but it still helped paint a picture of Chuck being neurotic and able to use a self-diagnosed disease to manipulate Jimmy, and not the victim of a physiological condition.
