Enemy of John Phoenix released himself from the claws of the bear bailiffs and ran back to the witness stump

Enemy of John Phoenix yelled "Objection! There is an alternative truth to those footprints!"

"What was it?" said the judge.

"Maybe they were left by an animal that was wearing shoes!"

"What?" yelled the wolf. "BUT THAT'S IMPROBABLE!"

"No I saw it," said the owl judge. "I didn't think it was relevant but I saw a kangaroo walking by the cave that day and he was wearing shoes."

Enemy of John Phoenix smirked. "And it was ME who gave him the shoes."

The contradiction was resolved and John Phoenix got sentenced to death by barbeque.

The End.
