Walking over to Thomas who was still sitting on the bench you sit down beside him, "So you want to help me put my money where my mouth is?" he just laughed still composing himself, "Yeah sure, why not, we're defending him? Ain't that just ironic? Mr. President sure does know how to doll out an unusual punishment." he sighs, "Why'd you even do this Ford? I agree with you he deserves a trial, but why?"
You purse your lips leaning back on the bench, before leaning forwards a bit, "I wanted to prove Granite wrong is part of it.... but it's also because we can't afford to leave what makes us American behind in the face of tough times. We've got so little left, and I know they all want him dead, there's no way in hell we can convince a jury he's innocent, I heard his testimony, wrote it down, mans guilty as can be." You sigh handing it over to Thomas who looks it over, "but ultimately we're nothing without our principals. I can't let it happen... I just can't." You refused to let everything you've read, and everything you've been taught and done have been for nothing.
Thomas nods, still looking over the testimony, "Jesus Christ... maybe we could make an argument of coercion, temporary bout of insanity perhaps?" You shrug, "seems pretty lucid to me, lucid enough to mock us constantly despite being beaten to shit in stocks... which frankly might qualify him for insane actually." you say rubbing the back of your head.
You stand up, "You look that over and get some books on legal precedent and law practice, I'm going to go ask for the 'Prosecution's' evidence and his list of charges."
Thomas nods, "Alright I'll see what I can do."
You head over to the Rockefeller house and knock on the door, the Senator answers with a dry look, "What do you want? Shouldn't you be I don't know attempting to find away to exonerate the corpse over there?" his voice dripping with hostility.
You don't flinch, "Exactly what I'm doing, since your the prosecution, I request you inform me of all evidence you have, as well as the list of charges being brought to bare."
He rolls his eyes, "I'll start with the charges then, 1 Count of Aggravated Murder in the 2nd Degree, 80 counts of involuntary manslaughter, 1 count to conspiracy to commit treason against the United States, 1 count of Treason against the United States. I'd like to say he committed 81 counts of murder in the 1st degree and treason, but I'm being charitable."
