Hello, our names are Giselle Hinojosa, Jasmine Kamara, Jasmine Saldana, Andrea
Romero, Daniel Perez, Ryan Booher, Peter Flory-Sanchez, Dominique Maxie, Ciara Sutton, and Xavier Macaraeg, and it is our pleasure to represent Spongebob Squarepants on this very important case. The defendant stands falsely accused of murder of Eugene H. Krabs in the second degree. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, this case is about mistaken identity. The prosecution has indicated that our client’s footprints were at the crime scene. There is a legitimate explanation to this. Prior to the death of Mr. Krabs, our client has worked at the establishment where the victim was murdered. Ladies and gentlemen, The defense will call upon two witnesses. The first, Patrick

Evidence #11 and #3 states that Plankton has had a long history of trying to ruin Mr. Krabs’ restaurant and there was blunt force trauma to the back of his head. Plankton has always wanted Mr. Krab’s secret formula and would do almost anything to have it. The blunt force trauma to the back of Mr. Krabs head suggests that the murder may have been shorter than Mr. Krabs and he couldn’t reach his neck.

He’s gonna wish he’d given me a raise!” Patrick Star is known for having a very low I.Q, meaning he could have said what Spongebob Squarepants said incorrectly. Another witness testimony is that Squidward Tentacles stated that he heard a screaming from the Krusty Krab, but only “after waiting a while” he went to investigate. This means that Squidward could have wanted anyone in there to die. The defendant does not have to prove he is innocent, rather it is the burden of the prosecuting attorney to prove that the defendant is guilty. They have not met that burden. It is the prosecutor who has all the resources to investigate the case. It is not the job of the defendant to go out and investigate the matter. We would ask you to render the only verdict that is fair, not
