"Mature Content Warning!" |
| “ | This is the second time, sir, that you have been brought before this bench. Though it is my earnest wish to ever temper justice with mercy, your persistent dedication to a life of crime is an abomination before God and man. I therefore sentence you to hang by the neck until you are dead and may the Lord have mercy on your soul. This court is adjourned. | ” |
