Even their eyewitness's testimony is beyond belief." The prosecutor put her on the witness stand. He said, "Please show the jury how you killed the man." She pointed her finger at the prosecutor. Just as she "pulled the trigger," he ducked. The judge and jury laughed. After closing arguments, the jury deliberated for two whole minutes. The jury foreman declared her not guilty.
