Guilty Regardless

your honor he is guilty please put him in his place
no evidence is needed look at his guilty face
the victim was business man and he a homeless bum
besides when we said freeze, first thing he did was run

I know he had no motive and an airtight alibi
but he confess to murder when we questioned him inside
The confession was obtain by the book, with good detective work
right before he confessed  he fell down and got hurt

then he grabbed my baton and bashed himself three times
then choked himself unconscious, and peed his pants one time
we told him he could leave if he confess to this event
then filled him in cause he did not know exactly how it went

with much support from us he got the story down
guilty on all charges as the gavel pounded down

surely he is guilty  though we did not find the drugs
his wife and kids are lying they are no more than thugs
we destroyed the house from top to bottom we have torn out every wall
we must have overlooked it cause we found no drugs at all

their has to be an answer why we found no contraband
we can not let him go, we need to arrest this man
lets take some drugs from evidence and place it in his car
surprise look what I found, guilty is what you are.

this could be a little better but I had a five minute break at work and the poem 
guilty I read up here inspired it
