"How a man can escape prison" joke

A man took the witness stand in his own trial in an effort to defend himself of a murder charge. "Sir," His lawyer began, "You are openly confessing to murdering Ms. Johnson, are you not?"
"Yes Sir, I am!"
"And yet at the same time, you are proclaiming your total inocence of all charges, Is that not correct?" His lawyer pursued.
"That is correct!" the man replied.
"Was this a case of self defense?"
"Definitely a case of self defense! She really intended to punish me!"
"Really? In what way was she going to punish you?"
"She asked me to marry her!!"
"Not Guilty!!!" Exclaimed the Judge! "Case dismissed!!!"
