Last time I was in court I heard a priceless exchange between a suspect and their attorney in the lobby
The guy was claiming that he was a victim of mistaken identity and that it wasn't him caught on CCTV doing whatever it was he was being charged with.
The Attorney asked him could anyone vouch for him and provide an alibi.
He said yes....there was someone, but he only knew their nickname not their real name.
And he didn't know exactly where they lived, but they lived in one of the (sketchy) motels along a well known highway
And he tried to call them but their phone was disconnected.
I didn't wait around but I'm sure the judge took the "alibi" with a pinch of salt
