depositions presented in (his own) defence


Explanation:
See Collins Spanish Dictionary Fourth Edition p.238:-

descargo =
(e) (Jur: descargos, pliego de descargo) evidence, depositions (in favour of the defendant); answers, rebuttals; (fig) excuses, special pleading; testigo de descargo = witness for the defence.

Maybe its not the exact phrase -- but I hope it helps.
