How does the defendant plead? “Not guilty, your Honor"

 

As your murderous rampage continues 

You do understand what being guilty means?

You also do understand what not being guilty means, right?

Good for you, you have a great lawyer and a great argument for probation

It has transpired that you stabbed a pregnant woman to death

She was pregnant with your child 

Tell you the truth, that is a depraved mind and twisted 

All this anger that you have and yet you punished her for it

It fuels you, but why?

I am not threatening you

I am informing you of the facts

You think this is the first time

I hear about “innocent until proven guilty”?

You think this is the first incident

A man with power tries to buy his way out

Regardless of it all, I remain undaunted 

And I could tell you a lot of things that could scare you

Things that could force you to change

Have you thought more about why you are locked up? 

You are aware of the consequences of lying under oath?

And yet your response remains the same

This is no longer about you, no longer about giving you power

This is about your mother telling you

You can take a bath before dinner or after

You still going to get wet

But you thought you had a choice

Tell me, do you honestly think

You are going to get away with this?
