He was dead before the bullet got to him

It is simply told, scrawled on the wall, smoke explodes from the barrel,
the bullet hangs there, mid air, the body found in the urine stall
as blood runs like some drunk pissing around the royal urn of a pharaoh,
his form intact, face down in fact, the judge was right
not to put him away, got real lucky.

The defense:

He was dead before the bullet got to him.
