Crime Scene

 
What is a case without evidence or  fingerprints left behind,
Months of trials can make one lose his mind,
Heart racing, palms clammy because he might face time in the county jail,
He lost all connections from his family so he had no one to post bail,
Friends? No he lost them in the early weeks following the shooting,
Everyone has reason to believe that he committed the crime,
The details of what really went down will be revealed in time,
Prosecutors review the tapes and what was said,
By the defendant who makes touching statements to get into the jurors' heads,
The outcome of the case will show what his words truly mean,
How will they arrive at a verdict if there wasn't anything left at the crime scene?
