Infernal Denizens Vs Macbeth

In the case the Infernal Denizens v. Macbeth, Macbeth, former King of Scotland, is appealing to ascend into Purgatorio in the Infernal Court of Dis. The issue of the case is: does Macbeth have the right to go ascend into Purgatorio given the crimes he committed during his life?

All these forms of treachery and the punishments for them are addressed by different political
