Now that Phoenix has cleared Max of the Muder charges, I handle the Assault charges.
*Presents* Orange Juice Bottle
Please note how this bottle was broken on impact. Any person who was hit by this would need bandages and possibly even stitches.
*Presents* Benjamin Woodward
The alledged victim, however, doesn't have so much as a bruise. Now since the bottle is broken, there's no denying my client hit something with it. And here it is...
*Presents* Trilo Quist
While we've heard testimony that my client was arguing with Mr. Woodward, I believe it would be accurate to say he was arguing the puppet, Mr. Quist. Your Honor, the Defense believe Max Galatica struck the puppet, not the ventriloquist, with the bottle, breaking it on his wooden head. Since Mr. Quist is only a puppet, Assault charges do NOT apply here. My client should only have to pay for any repairs the puppet may need as a result of his actions. I will now turn the floor over to the prosecution.
Truth will come to light.
