Your assumption is that common sense matter in a court of law. It does not.
This is one of the most important things one can understand about the law system. My father started to study law and attended law school, something to occupy himself with in his older years. He regularly blew my mind by telling me about court decisions that not only bypassed common sense, but also morality, and kept going into the realm of truly messed up.
The court room has nothing to do with the real world, real experiences, common sense, morality, or anything a sane person might recognize. It's a separate world with its own strange rules, and the only way we mere mundane mortals can tap into it is through our spirit shaman lawyers.
