In short, we can get nothing but a Malin jury.

You must therefore set up a consistent defence, hold fast to it, and perish in your innocence.

You will certainly be condemned.

But there's a court of appeal; we will go there and try to remain there as long as possible.
If in the mean time we can collect proofs in your favor you must apply for pardon.

That's the anatomy of the business, and my advice.
