Point legal duty out — one may do so in court (5,3,6)
I believe the answer is:
plead not guilty
'one may do so in court' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'point legal duty out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'point'+'legal'+'duty'='pointlegalduty'
'pointlegalduty' with letters rearranged gives 'PLEAD NOT GUILTY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
