Miracle on 34th Street ending / spoiler
The night before the trial finishes, Bryan sees that on a dollar bill it says 'with god we trust' - he gets Susan to give this dollar bill to the judge, with this statement highlighted, just as he is reading his verdict (which would have sent Kris to jail). Upon seeing this, he declares that if the government can declare such a statement without need of physical proof of God's existence, then by a similar declaration, the state of New York can declare that Santa Claus does exist, and that he is Kris Kringle - thus he is set free.
