Ah yes the utter lawlessness of holding a trial under the principles of due process, one which exists for the purpose of allowing you to defend yourself. How uncivilized! Yet you don't even seem to be taking that opportunity, it's almost like you're pleading guilty. I suppose your incessant complaining about this trial only displays your disdain for the law, rather ironic for the Attorney General.
Oh, I am guilty: guilty of defending the people against the murderous, bloodsucking cutthroats in the senate; guilty of fighting for the cause of the Good Old Union against the southern vagabonds and imperialist occupiers of Kansas; guilty of opposing GRAFT, BRIBERY, AND CRIMINALITY from the "honorable" senators who presume to judge ME. THEY are fugitives from justice impeaching the prosecuting attorney investigating their crimes —the treason of the senate has no bottom.
What was Peebs crime?
My crime is the blatant unconstitutionality of my scheme to outlaw men.
