indeed commit the misdeed he was accused of.
Teenage delinquent: I swear, Officer --- I absolutely positively unquestionably DID NOT spray that
graffiti on that shop window!! Why, I wasn't even THERE at that time --- I was down at the lake, just gazin' up at the stars and mindin' my own business!

IR-lighted security-camera footage of himself being very busy with his spray-cans on the store's front sidewalk: But --- but --- I --- this just can't --- I ---
Security guard (giving the flustered youth a self-satisfied
smile and shaking his head with a "caught in the act after all,
eh, son?" expression):
Yeah, I know --- playback's a b***h, isn't it?!
