In the Courtroom Observation, both sides articulated great facts to why their client should win the case. The Lawyers representing Mr. Edward Hard were making an attempt to persuade the judges to entitle a summary judgment, as the prosecutors were pushing for a trial by jury. With many interesting facts and an extremely odd conscience in this case, the nine judges had a difficult task to handle.

Matthew 18:22 says, “Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven” (ESV). In my own opinion, this means give someone a second chance, and obviously several were
