Suspect's defence (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alibi

(Other definitions for alibi that I've seen before include "Evidence one was not at crime scene" , "Proof of being elsewhere at the time of a crime." , "Plea of absence" , "Evidence that the accused could not have been guilty" , "it may help you to get off" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
