The priest presents 3 ticket stubs for the alibi event that got tommy and John acquitted. The thing is nobody looked at the stubs and they were never entered as evidence by the defense. Wouldn't that be the give away that something was not right?
They could have been for some other date who would know? Brad Pitt was not going to say anything.
What if the judge insisted on seeing them or having them entered as evidence?
To the judge, the only person who would openly scrutinize or criticize any details of the stubs would be Pitt himself...and he got the chance to examine them. We know that Pitt is the mastermind, but obviously the court does not. So from the court's point of view, the defense presents the witness, who presents the prosecution with the tickets. The prosecution examines the tickets and pretty much concedes. No need to enter into evidence if the prosecution has already just surrendered the details of the tickets. Furthermore, I've gathered that through King Benny and the network of friends on the inside, the tickets were indeed legit (correct date and event) and they managed to obtain them and hand them off to DeNiro.
