Defense Statement
Beginning of paper
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, we, the defense, have shown you that
there is no reason that George did not do the right and humane thing by shooting
Lenny and that he is innocent of all charges against him.
I agree with the prosecution however when they say that murder is
unlawful, but would you ....
Middle of paper
.... a very caring person, but did not realize his own strength.
The men did not understand that he didn't mean to do it and were going to make
sure he had a cruel death.
George in a sense "saved" Lenny's life by making sure he died happily and
not in the face of strangers that were hitting him and torturing him.
Ladies and gentlemen, I beg you, this man is innocent. He didn't do
anything wrong unless being a humanitarian is a crime. Thank you for your time.
