Not by talking only, a real trial:
I was dragged to court because a police student reported me that I had forced him on the motorway on my way home
6 months ago (following too closely). He allegedly wrote down my number and the time. It was called a criminal offense, not a misdemeanor.
First day at court:
I couldn't remember anything.
When the judge asked about the note, the police student said he had lost it.
When asked if he recognized me as the driver, he said he couldn't say for sure.
When asked by the judge what type and color of the car that attacked him was, he said he couldn't remember.
Meanwhile, my mom found in her diary that I had taken the train home at the time in question because my car was on the lift in the workshop overnight due to unexpected brake problems.
The judge immediately sent a police officer to the workshop where this was confirmed. So:
Second day at court:
I was acquitted immediately. The judge didn't summon the police trainee for this second trial ("in his own interest"), even though this guy wanted to attend to it again.
