Prosecuting Lawyer – Nicholas Tan Defending Lawyer – Benjamin Lim Accused – Topaz Tan Witness – Chen Jiajun Judge – Mrs Toh Prosecuting lawyer: Today, we are gathered here to discuss a very serious matter - namely the crime that IT has committed, ruling as a dictator and terrorising the people of Camazotz, by punishing the people of Camazotz unfairly heavily when they do wrong things. There is also no document stating that IT is officially being allowed to rule Camazotz with the people's consent that has been found at all. Do you have any evidence that your control over Camazotz is with consent, and that you have punished fairly?

Accused: But I helped cure the people of Camazotz of sadness.

Prosecuting lawyer: But in the doing, you also took away their happiness, and when you took control of them, they could not choose.

Defending lawyer: (Voice going louder, then softer): But IT helped the people! IT eliminated the different ones and made everyone the same, thus, IT was giving the people who wanted to be different a chance by punishing them and letting them choose to either be the same or get eliminated.

Prosecuting lawyer: (Loud "Ah!" start softer and then get louder): Ah! But what right had he to eliminate the different ones and make everyone the same?


 * Silence* (For 5 seconds)

Prosecuting lawyer: You are evil, and there is no point denying it! Now, before we continue trail off arguing with this case, may I, Your Honour, call in a witness, to testify my point?

Judge: You may call in the witness.

Prosecuting lawyer: Thank you your Honour. Prosecuting calls upon Charles Wallace Murry to the stand!

Witness: It is true that IT is evil! IT just wanted to take freedom away from every single being!

Accused: That is false! I have a very kind soul. I have helped to heal Camazotz of all its differences, making people happy in the process.

Prosecuting lawyer: How can evil make people happy? Even though the residents of Camazotz may be tried to make happy, they cannot feel anything because they are being controlled by another mind. That's why people on earth are even happier because their minds are not being randomly controlled by others...

Defending lawyer: But how do you know IT healing Camazotz of all differences is evil? And, people are never unhappy on Camazotz. Your planet is full of sadness sometimes and other stuff.

Prosecuting lawyer: Well, we do have some wars, fights and disagreements but...

Defending lawyer: You see? IT is always right, Camazotz is still better than earth all because of IT! ITs services to Camazotz should be praised for, and not be causing IT to be brought to court. People on earth should join IT and live like the residents of Camazotz! Furthermore on Camazotz, there is no such thing as pain, while on earth, lots of people die in wars.

Prosecuting lawyer: Although we do have the down parts of life, however we depend on our good experiences to live on, not like you happy-go-lucky beings. Anyway, I shall now point out that IT has also tried and succeeded in hurting people before!

Witness: Yes, it is true that IT has hurt people! When we were on Camazotz, the Man with Red Eyes had said that when people were ill, they would be put to sleep, or more specifically, being killed! (You may refer to Pg 128)

Accused: But...I am innocent!

Prosecuting lawyer: No you are not!

Accused: What proof do you have to say so then?

Witness: I can testify that IT has tried to take over me and control me.

Defending lawyer: Even so, that does not prove that IT has hurt people! And once again, IT has only done so for your own good, but you just did not want to accept ITs kindness. It is already a privilege to be offered the chance to go into it!

Prosecuting lawyer: However when you go into IT, you lose control over yourself and IT takes over completely!

Accused: Isn't it good that you won't have to fuss about the troubles in your daily lives?

Prosecuting lawyer: But you can't choose whether you want to fuss about the troubles in your life!

Defending lawyer: You might make wrong decisions that might cause war in this planet!


 * Silence* (For 5 seconds)

Defending lawyer: The prosecuting lawyer has got it all wrong! Members of the jury, I shall show you how the kind IT has made Camazotz a better place and strive towards a better future!

Accused: Yes, I helped cure the people of Camazotz. I control the people so the there will be no wars in Camazotz.

Prosecuting lawyer: But do you know actually you are punishing people because they want freedom?

Defending lawyer: How would you know they even want freedom...?

Prosecuting lawyer: Then in that case IT should free their minds to find out, which IT should have done so in the first place!

Accused: But why do humans want to have freedom, when not being free has more benefits and less disadvantages?

Prosecuting lawyer: Because it is human nature, which you do not understand. But that is not the main point. The point is, you are taking over people's minds, and not giving them the freedom of choice, which the humans first had. Walk on two legs, or walk on four legs. So, you are taking away one of the privileges every human has - the freedom of choice. Human life is all about making choices. If humans don't make choices in their lives, then theirs would be a useless one. Now, members of the Jury, please decide if IT is guilty of IT’s crime, and think carefully so that justice can prevail!
