Grendel: Guilty or Innocent? “Murderers, in general, are people who are consistent, people who are obsessed with one idea and nothing else” -Ugo Betti Ladies and gentlemen of the jury. Good Morning. My job, today, is to come before you and prove to you that the accused, Grendel, is guilty of crimes of monstrosity, for which the penalty is death. I will do this by presenting to you facts and evidence that prove, beyond reasonable doubt, that Grendel truly is guilty of crimes of monstrosity.

He killed without remorse and even took joy in tormenting, killing, and… eating them.
