I hereby accuse you of lying to this jury in your testimony concerning your involvement in the development of inter-dimensional transportation, commonly known as ‘time travel’. In fact, I assert that it is YOU who is responsible for the altering of the moon’s orbit and what would have been the imminent demise of our whole planet if it wasn’t for an unprecedented co-operational effort by the Second League of Nations to restabilize it with the whole world’s supply or retro-encabulators.
Ladies and gentlemen, this man built an amazing machine in his time, 700 years ago, a mere twelve years before the Second War Of Devolution, but this contribution to science does not balance his recklessness in feeling that the future was constantly being rewritten in his time and therefore he could do whatever he wanted with impunity. By the authority of Space Duke Arubus, therefore, I charge this man with intent to destroy Earth in the first degree, and order him to compensate the League to a sum of a hundred trillion-billion Francs or one pound of real cow beef from the past.
You the jury of this Realm are charged with the decision. You know the law. Guilty or Innocent! Will this man, bound and ball-gagged in front of you, be hurled into Jupiter or allowed to return to his own time after a mere savage beating? Go forth and deliberate! THUS SPAKE GROTE, ROYAL PROSECUTOR!
