Arguments For Napoleon's Trial

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,throughout this trial you will see substantial evidence that the defendant,Napoleon,has violated the laws of this court. He has murdered multiple people ,inflicted severe mental and physical suffering upon others and deprived people of their fundamental rights.The prosecution expects a verdict of guilty and a lengthy prison sentence on this monstrous dictator.

My opponent may say that the defendant is innocent saying he may have not killed anyone with his own hands however article 7(1)(a) states kill is interchangeable with the term “cause of death” which in this case the defendant is guilty of,having to be the one to give out orders and make plans such as the case being with the deceased Boxer.

Napoleon would work the animals day and night,with little to no food for them to have a healthy body to do the work,instead taking what little food for himself and the pigs who would do no physical work on the farm,not to mention the false promises of a “better farm” and that when they reach a certain age they would have no more work and can freely retire. However in reality he took all their hard work to profit so that he can benefit himself,by drinking and lounging around while the rest of the animals served as his slave ingraining in their brain that “Napoleon is always
