Can't win like that. Might as well return to a good old trial by ordeal. Throw the accused in the river. If he drowns, this is a sign he is innocent. If he stays afloat, Satan is helping him so he must be hung for being guilty.
Defending himself requires he stop resisting deportation and face trial.

Oh, and no one ever drowned by ordeal accept by accident, they had ropes to pull you out.
