John_Steinbeck

John Steinbeck John Steinbeck has presented his case. I believe that his client, George Milton, is innocent. George should be found innocent because of his clear emotional attachment to the victim, his heartfelt mercy for his late friend, and the lack of a plausible motive. He was good friends with this man. That fact is unopposed, why would he kill his dear friend unless he truly thought that something worse would happen if he didn’t. I see no reason to convict him for this murder. The defense counsel has stated that his client was committing euthanasia. Although many frown upon this act, it is not yet illegal. We can not convict this man of something that is not written as an illegal act. If a man is to shoot a horse with a broken leg, do we persecute him for killing a healthy animal, or if a wolf is attacking a sheep, and the farmer kills the sheep so that he may avoid the suffering, is the a malicious act. The defendant had no motive to kill his friend.
