Whaattt? Judge, this is outrageous! How in the world can you make such a call? I can surely tell you that these two men surely should not be convicted of this murder! I cant believe that you are convicting them based on unreliable evidence.
Firstly, most of the witness claimed to be positively sure about seeing both Sacco and Vanzetti either during the crime, or after it, and then later on they become unsure? Come on, this is absurd. You need REAL evidence, evidence that is reliable and not this childish guessing game.
Secondly, I know they both lied at the beginning, but it was due to fear! Fear of his and his friends safety and the fear of being deported; the credit for this all returns to the Red Scare.Plus, there were several, not just one or two, witnesses that testified to seeing Sacco at Boni's Restaurant in Boston, and Vanzetti in Plymouth, so how is that even possible? And several of the witness that tested that they thought have seen either of those two men, described them incorrectly, so are you really basing your
decision on them?Oh and this definately made me laugh. So they believe they found a hat that Sacco possessed? At the crime scene? How ironic. I bet that Sacco is the only one that possesses that type of hats, doesnt he? This is ridiculous! Anyone passing by previously would have dropped that hat. Just because Sacco wears something similar to that does not immediatly mean it was his! Plus, you saw how it did not fit him while he tried it on, so it obviously wasnt his, unless he enjoys wearing small fitted hats...
Bartolomeo Vanzetti, one of the victims here, who shouldnt even be in this place, who is crucially misjudged and misread, has no adequate evidence to convict him guilty. One of the prosecutions evidence is his gun; they believe that the gun that was found on him resembled the one Berardelli, who was shot, owned. My client assures that this gun was purchased months ago and from a friend named Falzini, who is here at the moment, and testifies that that claim is true! Once again, just because my client possessed some similar items people in this case had, does not certify that that was the gun used in the crime scene.
These insufficient and poor evidence that you are willing to convict my clients because of would be extremely unethical. Unreliabe eye witness, poor ballastics evidence, false accusations and all this other ridicule is completely, 100% NOT enough to be able to convict these two guys of crime and robbery. I am ashamed of this decision of yours, and will not set for this!
This is America, remember? Everyone is treated equally and we all have rights. These 2 men should not be treated differently or be carelessly taken care of. We all have the right to be heard and be given an opportunity, so don't just end this simply by convicting and ordering them to be executed, hear them out and don't fall for these foolish testimonies and insuffience evidence because remember ..
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.
