"The footage shown is from our first key witness, who has asked to stay anonymous to prevent possible retribution from the defendant. As you see, Your Highness, the defendant needlessly attacked unarmed citizens immediately after performing an act of anti-Crown sentiment so vulgar, so heinous, I hesitate to even describe it in Your presence."
