English Art/Literary Law (general) in court

But then it was the attorney's turn to speak. In a calm voice, he professionally went through every charge in the indictment. I was found not guilty on all ten charges! The courtroom looked like the final scene of Gogol's "The Inspector-General". I wish you could have seen that! The more I straightened out my back ***with each charge dismissed***, the more confused my calumniators grew. It was pitiful to look at them.

Please advise if it's OK and natural enough to put the phrase this way in English. Being no native myself, I'm still doubting. That's my problem - sometimes I doubt too much.
