In a legal standpoint George Milton would be guilty of the murder of Lennie Small. George Milton is guilty for what Lennie Small went through, George Milton verbally and mentally bullied Lennie Small throughout the book Of Mice and Men and George Milton shot Lennie Small in the back of the head with a lugger which was stolen. Which brings me to my first point on how George Milton is guilty of verbally and mentally bullying Lennie Small.

Which would make George Milton guilty of the killing of Lennie Small. As stated in the book Chapter 6 ; Pg 106 George pulled the trigger of the lugger shooting Lennie in the head. Then continues with his normal life Chapter 6 ; Pg
