I was sleeping one night before an important exam and I was dreaming of a couple of scenes which were puzzling to me, and when I woke up I realised that it was a strange riddle that seemed to puzzle me because it is so hard to solve.
The dream was like this: A lawyer is/was representing a man, let us call him A in court. A is being sued by a sultan (from a strange, faraway land) who lost an expensive vase. According to the sultan, the vase was vandalised with A's name on it before it was stolen. It has not been found ever since. At the court, the sultan's lawyer shows the court some pictures taken by several guards in the sultan's palace of the vase the day before it was stolen. The court asked if the guards have proceeded to carry out any further investigation but the sultan's lawyer replied in the negative(saying no). The jury then asks A to scribble/write his name and A's scribbling fits the vandal's handwriting perfectly. This puzzles A, as A had never gone to the sultan's palace in his lifetime and so he is/was definitely innocent. A calls his lawyer to think of ways to convince the court that he is innocent.
As the lawyer, what would you do, and/or what further actions would you ask the court to take to prove A's innocence.
Note: I do not have an answer, so I will not reply.
