then while escaping the latest attack of the lawmen to take down the gang, during the escape he was forced to fight for his life against the most notorious gunman of the Van der Linde gang, Arthur Morgan. he had understood my clients betrayal and attacked my client with intent to do harm. luckily my client was able to defend himself and be victorious and also later escape the whole area. but this came only after having an a brutal hand to hand battle with this known mad man.

\n\n

sadly my client was not sure anymore that he would be spared by those lawmen chasing them all, or would be shot as "just another outlaw". he chose to leave, and escape the area. knowing well he had filled his promise to the Pinkertons, the gang was now dismantled. and as bonus and proof of his co operation, he left the known murderer and enforcer of the gang to be found by the lawmen on the mountain top, so broken down so there would not be any way he could escape the law anymore.

\n\n

so my client fled, as free man, relieved of the burdens bestowed up on him. his conscious clean after helping the law to win over one of the best or worst outlaw gangs left in the west.

Hey, I\u2019m back:

\n\n

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, Your Honor,

\n\n

Today, we gather to confront the brutal truth of a man whose crimes have plagued this land. Micah Bell is not simply an outlaw or a man hardened by the West; he is a cold-blooded killer, a ruthless robber, and a danger to every law-abiding citizen who calls this territory home. His deeds speak volumes\u2014deeds that cry out for justice, deeds that cannot be ignored or forgiven.

\n\n

Let us consider the long trail of violent robberies Micah Bell has committed. This man does not rob merely to survive or to scrape by; he does so with violence and merciless brutality. He has stormed into towns and businesses, leaving behind terrorized citizens, broken lives, and shattered livelihoods. With no regard for the people whose lives he disrupts, Micah has taken from those who have worked hard for every coin, caring nothing for the devastation he leaves in his wake.

\n\n

But robbery is not the end of Micah Bell's list of crimes. We know that he has taken lives\u2014again and again\u2014with complete indifference to human suffering. This is a man who kills without a second thought, without remorse, and without hesitation. Whether he\u2019s faced with lawmen, bystanders, or innocent souls who just happened to be in his way, Micah\u2019s answer is the same: violence. Lives have been cut short, families have been torn apart, and a community is left with grief and fear, all because of the actions of this one man.

\n\n

Now, we can talk about justice, about forgiveness, or about second chances, but let me ask you this: has Micah Bell ever shown mercy? Has he ever offered a second chance to those he\u2019s robbed, beaten, or murdered? He has not. He has left nothing but pain in his path, showing time and again that he is unrepentant and unchangeable.

\n\n

The law is clear, and justice demands that men like Micah Bell face the full weight of their actions. Today, you have the opportunity to put an end to the terror he brings, to make our streets safer, and to send a message that such crimes will not be tolerated. For the sake of all who have suffered, for the peace of our towns, and for the honor of justice itself, I ask you to deliver the sentence Micah Bell so rightly deserves: death by hanging.

\n\n

Thank you.
