Lawyer:Your honor, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, My client, Robert Malone, has been accused of a crime [kraɪm] he did not       
    commit. The prosecution has accused my client of being a pickpocket! I know we have heard the testimony of many people here today,  
    . . . .people who claim the defendant, my client,stole their wallets.I feel sorry for these victims, I really do. . . . . . . . .   
    but my client is innocent!

    police stopped him, he did not have any of the stolen wallets. There is no evidence.Therefore, Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, I  
    ask you to think carefully before giving your verdict. look at the face, look at the evidence. My client is innocent!
