In this courtroom today an important matter must be discussed. A man by the name of Faber has been put on trial. This may not seem to indifferent because most of the evidence has been heard, but no one knows the full story. Faber was trying to help society, he has done nothing wrong, except for attempting to change a censorship government.
An opinion has already been made on Faber, even though it is not supposed to be made yet. An innocent man is on trial here today, but will anyone believe this? Faber is justified in making it his last mission to print more copies of the bible because he is trying to change society to be better. Now, a question for the courtroom, what is it that can change the society to make it better? Is it people

Montag was the one who put the books in the firemen’s houses, this was not Faber’s doing, and even though we infer that he intended to do the same thing, we have no hard proof. Faber is just a regular person who is trying to do what he thinks is right, and although it could be considered wrong, it shouldn’t be in this case. Faber is innocent, and it should be recognized that this act was not criminal and anyone else being put on trial would not be considered guilty so Faber, as an innocent man, should also not be convicted as guilty. Please look at the evidence one last time, and make a final decision saving an innocent
