burden of proof
counsel for the defense, call your next witness.
the defense rests, your honor.
oh? are you sure you want to do that?
your honor, we believe that the evidence clearly establishes that the defendant could not have been in a corner of the room at the time the crime was committed.
not in a corner, you say?
just a feeling we have, your honor.
well, I don't know, but it's your funeral. or your client's, rather, if you're wrong.
thank you for that, your honor.
no problem.
