One of my favorite trial transcripts ever. My favorite of many exchanges in it:

Mayor. That conscience of yours would cut my throat.

Bush. No, my lord, it never shall.

Mayor. But I will cut yours so soon as I can.

Agreed, only a trial for unlawful assembly, not for hate speech, but their heart was in the right place.

(Well worth the read if you can stand the language, it is hilarious)
