And that is how good he is. on a whole different level.
If he existed. Which he doesn't. Just ask Gordon.
You know, I hear he thought that the uncrowned prince of the city, just returned from a decade of travel, was actually this Batman. That playboy Wayne capable of putting fear in all those criminals. Yeah, right.

Sadly 'hero goes to jail' isn't nearly that 'original' of a plot... so I expect a lot of the old cliché's to pop up soon.
It's not even original for CW shows. I mean, Ollie is threatened with jail for his activities as the Arrow this season. At least the pacing of that trial matches real life, unlike the four weeks it took for crime, arraignment, trial, and sentencing for Barry. With Holiday breaks in between, to boot!

BTW, FBI chick left Star City suddenly. And at the same time the CCPD CSI is accused of murder.
It would have made sense that the FBI was called in to examine the scene.
To which a friend that just watched the trial ep noted several problems them prosecution and the investigators should have noted and answered - because a competent defense would have used them.
1) The accused is a CSI, he knows how people get caught. So why was he so obvious?
1a) Why did he trip his own alarm moments before the cops came in?
2) Where was all the blood? He was obviously killed somewhere else and transported there. Why would Allen do that?
2a) Besides the prints on the blade, and the location, was there any physical evidence to connect Allen?
3) Her lover is a good suspect. And we just take the widows word that her husband was ok with the arrangement? We don't even question the lover to corroborate? We don't check to see if he had a sick father?

Answers to 1 and 1: He could be a moron or careless.
2. It's not that obvious IF people accept he was killed there. 2a) yeah he was standing over the dead body.
3. I'm assuming they think their marriage was an open one. Those things happen. Though admittedly, they should have pressed harder on the widow but I guess they settled on Barry since he was standing over a dead body.

Another point where the writers wanted this and wrote it.
Remember how Ollie taught Barry to scout the area then movie in? And there was a SWAT team moving through the building toward his apartment when he entered the building.
1) How did he not see them? I'll assume multiple doors to allow for not passing them in the hall.
2) If he had "run" when they knocked - that is not be seen in the room, and immediately returned to Joe's house, he would have had several credible witnesses to vouch for his whereabouts.
Also another trial issue. Shortly before the first incident with Barry and the deceased, he was picked up and delivered to CCPD, naked and in a fugue state. This should suggest not guilty by reason of insanity. More importantly, every case he was involved in this season should be facing retrial. The lawyers for those cases should be calling for mistrials anyway right now.

Which is another point for my side. That him going to prison an innocent man is a greater crime against the justice system then if he used an extreme method to prove his innocence. Such as showing he was the flash or even planting false evidence. So not only is he hurting the concept of the justice system by allowing himself to go to prison but also It would have actual ramification.

Well, as badly as I think this was written, just to play devil's advocate here...
Points 2 and 2a... the fact that there was little to no evidence to connect him to the crime... really COULD be answered with point 1. He's CSI, he knows how not to leave evidence. Granted that means he left the body for last and opens up a bunch of OTHER issues... but with someone with Barry's background, a lack of evidence would be a more a point in the prosecutions argument...
As for Cecile... isnt' she a prosecuter? I can chalk up SOME of her ineptitude to being on the wrong side of the case.

So let me go a little deeper. If he got arrested on a clever trick and then got set free on a clever trick lets talk about how much that invalidates the whole trust in the justice system thing Barry was pushing. I suppose the reality is he just didn't want to have to perpetually be a wanted man. say If he vibrated through the walls and ran out. This way does work better for him keeps his secret identity etc. The morale of the story is super-powers allows you to ignore the law.

Did they ever say there were 12 passengers on the bus? I thought they said there were 12 people on the bus. So one's the driver. Though unless one of the metas they already met was the driver, it's a pretty big miss on team Flash (as well as DeVoe) to not look up the driver and find their next missing meta.

I'm sure I've harped on this before but:
Either there were THIRTEEN people on the bus. Or there are only two left unaccounted for. Unless the bus was being droned piloted, the driver was on it.
The infrared picture of the bus shows twelve spots, including one in the driver's seat.
