I rest my case!

People,

I think that I could say, just in common parlance, "Con esto, está todo dicho", meaning I rest my case.

-------------------

But then, there is legal jargon.

I heard "La fiscalía se descansa". That would be, "the prosecution rests". Right?

-------------

But how about "The defense rests"? How do you call "the defense" in Spanish?

-----------

And what does "Abandono el caso" mean? Does that mean that the lawyer has decided to dump his client?
