Evidence

The truth of my account has been attested and it seems to me to contradict the prosecutions story flatly. The prosecution, you may remember, alleged that the Two Goddesses themselves infatuated me and made me place the bough on the altar in ignorance of the law, in order that I might be punished. But I maintain, gentlemen, that even if every word of the prosecutions story is true, it was the Goddesses themselves who saved my life.
