Plead guilty. Since the criminal justice system is apparently based on presumption of guilt (Justin asserts, you have to prove the guns were planted, so this seems to be the case) and you can't prove your innocence, then legally you are guilty whether you did it or not.
Plead guilty and beg for mercy.
