During the trial of Professor McElroy, Chief O'Hara was called to the stand. Lucilee Diamond, McElroy's public defender, asked him if McElroy ever broke the law when he was not King Tut. O'Hara was not sure and told her she would have to ask Batman. She asked O'Hara to confirm that when McElroy was not suffering the effects of a concussive state that brings on the King Tut identity, he was a mild-mannered, harmless member of society. O'Hara repeated the previous statement. Harvey Dent objected on the grounds that counsel was confusing the witness. Diamond quipped that was not hard to do. The judge overruled. Diamond asked him if he tried to extract a confession by bludgeoning McElroy to recreate a concussive state. Dent objected and pointed out King Tut was on trial here, not the professor. O'Hara sobbed and confessed to hitting McElroy during interrogation. Diamond had no further questions and thanked O'Hara. O'Hara replied it was his honor to serve. From the gallery, Commissioner Gordon groaned.
Dent called his next witness, Batman. Everyone, including Batman, was shocked. Dent asked Batman how he would rate King Tut as criminal masterminds go. Batman testified King Tut was one of his most deadly adversaries but believed with proper rehabilitation, Tut could someday be a productive member of society. Dent twisted Batman's words to make it an opinion that Tut had to be sent to prison in order to get the rehabilitation he needed. Before Batman could clarify himself, Dent cut him off and stated he had no further questions. He called Professor McElroy to the stand next. McElroy gasped. Dent summarized that McElroy stated for the court that he had no memory of his actions when King Tut takes over. McElroy confirmed he had none whatsoever. He added no one was more horrified by King Tut's actions than he was. Dent asked him if it was true that without his expertise in Egyptology, Tut couldn't commit his crimes. McElroy supposed that was true. Dent concluded that Tut used McElroy's knowledge of his crimes, making the professor the real mastermind. McElroy was shocked and speechless. Batman and Robin exchanged looks in the gallery. Diamond lost the trial and McElroy was sentenced to 15 years with possible time off for good behavior.
