Look at it from the point of view of the police. You have a suspect that you think is guilty (after all, you got enough evidence to convince a grand jury!) and he wants
you to exonerate him with something that's so unreliable that it's inadmissable in court. Obviously, it's just a desperate ploy to convince you that he's innocent and waste precious police resources looking for someone else. Guilty people will do anything to convince you they're innocent. Haven't you ever seen an episode of
Cops?
