Reasonable Doubt

“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I am frankly embarrassed by my colleague, the prosecuting attorney. You must have proof beyond a reasonable doubt and he’s failed to provide that. Forget the overwhelming ‘evidence’ that my client ‘premeditated’ the murder of twenty-seven people, the reports of him laughing gleefully as he committed his heinous acts unimaginable to humankind, and the watertight testimony of thirteen independent witnesses. Maybe it was all one big misunderstanding, huh? Maybe it was self defense when he slowly tortured that group of pacifistic Buddhist monks. I don’t know. Do you know? That’s reasonable doubt right there, buddy.”
