If the "Let's just move on" argument fails at your arraignment, you may want to try this:
Newspaper claims suspect transformed into a goat
Fri Jan 23, 6:07 pm ET
LAGOS, Nigeria � One of Nigeria's biggest daily newspapers reported that police implicated a goat in an attempted automobile theft. In a front-page article on Friday, the Vanguard newspaper said that two men tried to steal a Mazda car two days earlier in Kwara State, with one suspect transforming himself into a goat as vigilantes cornered him.
The paper quoted police spokesman Tunde Mohammed as saying that while one suspect escaped, the other transformed into a goat as he was about to be apprehended.
The newspaper reported that police paraded the goat before journalists, and published a picture of the animal.
Police in the state couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
Belief in black magic is widespread in Nigeria, particularly in far-flung rural areas. |

In other words, both perps got away and the cops are scapegoating an innocent goat. |

| That's great. Hopefully, the goat's jail cell is more upscale than the barn. |

Would it be correct to say "scaping an innocent goat?" |
