Nobody is going to listen to that. Well after what Central City has been seeing during the past 4 or so years (metahumans, other earths etc.) I dont think this would be especially weird, and I think most of the jury members would actually think Barry is telling the truth, and definetely if he told and showed them he's the flash. So just because he is the Flash and weird things are happening in the city, evidence goes out the window?

Let me tell you what would happen if Barry revealed his identity in front of the court and said all of this.

Barry: Now your honor, i was really framed by Clifford DeVoe.

Prosecutor: Clifford DeVoe is dead.

Barry: He isn't. He is now inside the body of Dominic Lanse. I have this photo of them kissing to prove it.

Judge: Do you actually have any further evidence to back up your claims?

Barry: Well no... Yes sure evidednce wouldn't go in Barry's favor, but at pretty much the same time as the final sentencing, captain Singh was giving the flash the award of valor (not sure if I spelled it correctly but you know what I mean) and was also saying how much the flash gave to Central City, and how much pain he went through to save everyone. The Flash also murdering someone in cold blood on the same day doesn't really bode well for him though. He might have some time off of his sentence, but it isn't worth it when his identity is revealed to every villain that he has ever caught. Yes but we and the court know that had Barry as the flash could hide the body somewhere where no scavenger could find it, if he really did murder DeVoe. Plus, if they knew he was the flash, they know he would have been able to get out of his loft before the police broke in, but he didn't, which in my opinion further proves his innocence. The court would just see a man who did the right thing in turning himself in after killing him. He literally has no evidence he was framed. The security break at his loft could be explained by the court as Clifford trying to get in to speak to Barry and then Barry returned to murder him. Yes, that's true, but why would he turn himself in, and then, throughout the whole trial, try to persuade the judge and jury that he is innocent, and didn't kill anyone. You could say he changed his mind, but that would be very stupid. If someone killed a person, and turned himself in because he feels bad about it, I don't think they would so soon feel better about it. Many criminals use Barry's tactics to try to get our of jailtime and have actually murdered people. So that is why we are careful in the justice system about people who say "I'm innocent, i never killed anyone". Why are you so negative? There could be a Season 5. Maybe they will do a time travel or get a Clifford Devoe from a Earth. I'm not being negative. I am just showing the facts that you can't cheat the justice system and then call yourself the good guy. But they have several ways. Killer Frost, Caitlin, Leonard, Mick, Team Arrow. Devoe has cheat the justice system so why can not Barry do that? Because that lot aren't cheating the justice system, they simply never got caught. Barry has made it explicitly clear he refuses to be a fugitive on the run. Even in a rigged trial? The trial wasn't rigged. If it was rigged, DeVoe would have had to pay off the judges to move the case in his favor.
