Well Ladies and Gentelmen of the Jury, the defence would have you believe that the defendant has never hollowed out a couple of marrows prior to clog dancing in the privacy on their own home, or indeed ever tap danced in a pair of under ripe gourds. What you must decide is, given your knowledge of delacuesta, is this likely or indeed probable.
