Bribe the judge, it would work out cheaper.
I've had another idea for a perfect crime in Dnd,. Would it work?
The defendant bribes the jury to ensure their found guilty
His plan is that a few weeks later they'll leak information to the local lord that proves that the jury was bribed to find the defendant guilty, the local lord will assume that the jury would only be bribed to find the defendant guilty if the defendant is actually innocent and he or she pardons the defendant
To the defendants glee his plan works

Because theirs a risk that people will find out but by bribing them to find him guilty then making sure that people will eventually acquire proof that they were bribed to find him guilty everyone will assume he's innocent and he will receive a full pardonWhy doesn't he just bribe the jury to ensure that he is found not guilty?
There are potentially a lot of variables....
The defendant bribes the jury to ensure their found guilty

I have trouble with the jump from ‘your jury was bribed to find you guilty’ to ‘therefore you must be innocent’ bit.Because theirs a risk that people will find out but by bribing them to find him guilty then making sure that people will eventually acquire proof that they were bribed to find him guilty everyone will assume he's innocent and he will receive a full pardon
Thinking about it the most likely answer is that its a country were almost every judge, most nobles and at least half of the royal family have a habit of assuming that if the jury in a trial is bribed into finding the defendant guilty then the defendant must be innocentI have trouble with the jump from ‘your jury was bribed to find you guilty’ to ‘therefore you must be innocent’ bit.
The jury being bribed in either direction is independent of your guilt. You can be innocent and believe this is the best way to ensure that outcome given a less than stellar justice system. You can be guilty and one of your victims wants to ensure the right outcome for the same reason.
