Say a criminal is accused. The criminal will have a defense attorney. In court, the defense attorney argues with the prosecutor. In his cross-examination with the witness, he tries to find a contradiction, to show the defendant is NOT GUILTY. In the end, the Jury declares if the accused is GUILTY or NOT GUILTY. It really depends on what happened during the trial.
