THE PEOPLE v. Scott Summers - The Murder of Charles Francis Xavier

[xhx23x]

Can we declare a misstrial if we present evidence of Charles being alive?

Or can Charles press charges and add to Scott's list of crimes?

The DEFENSE'S motion for a mistrial is denied.
Just because you murdered someone, and they "got better" later, doesn't mean you didn't murder them.

I don't know the correct terms in English but shouldn't he examined by a psychatrist to conclude if he could be held responsible at the moment of the murder? First?

In AvX: Consequences it is seen that the US Government put him in a terrible jail full of racists because they knew that it was very likely that he would win the trial thanks to that, that way they would get rid of him.

Irrelevant. He really died. What he did after has nothing to do with the case…

Or can Charles press charges and add to Scott's list of crimes?

The possibility that the victim could press charges hasn't been forseen.

Your honor, I am asking for a dismissal of charges based on legal statute 3.1.1 of the State of California Penal Code: applied bias on the part of law enforcement.

On the date of May the Seventh in the year of our lord 2012, Law Enforcement officials under the banner of Captain Steven Rodgers asked for information regarding the defendant from James Howlett. We know now that Howlett gave misleading, if not false statements to law enforcement, a felony under California Penal Code 148.5. This meant that when law enforcement attempted arrest the defendant, they were operating with false information. I will cite the legal precedent of The People versus Daniel Gary Cook from 1984, in which Cook's charges of armed robbery were dismissed based on false information given in a Federal affidavit. These false charges brought about the chain of events culminating in the death of Charles Francis Xavier. I will also cite precedent in The People versus Orinthal James Simpson from 1996, in which the inadequacy of prosecution's manner of collecting evidence resulted in the jury deciding in a non-guilty charge.

Bias in this case can be proven with events in 2007, in which the same law enforcement team to which Captain Rodgers is a member, deployed anti-mutant weapons at the Xavier School in New York during the legal debate of the Superhuman Registration Act. This displays a clear level of bias by this agency against mutants, including the defendant who was head of that school at the time.

As a result, I am moving for a mistrial on the basis of law enforcement bias and poor legal standing.

Your honour, May I present that the defendant has been committing numerous of illegal acts leading up to the murder of Professor Charles Francis Xavier.

The defendant has encouraged children to participate in wars and battles. Hiring assassins to do his dirty work. The defendant has a history of endorsing violence. Hereby, him murdering Professor Xavier was not a moment of rage/or insanity. It reflects on his past actions and correlates well with his violent history.

He should be charged with manslaughter since he was psychically attacked but then, he sought out a weapon of mass destruction with full knowledge of its destruction.

P.S the defendant has disrespected our Vet. Captain Steven Rogers. Unacceptable.

Scott Summers’ mom didn’t carry him for 9 months just for him to disrespect Captain Rogers like that. Just Saying.

Thank you, Your honour

It was the Office of National Emergency (an American Agency) that deployed human operated mechanized battle suits designed to combat super-powered criminals to the Xavier Institute, not the Avengers (a United Nations sponsored paramilitary force) the two organisations are completely separate from each other.

The facts disagree. The Sentinels deployed to the Xavier Institute were StarkTech Mk VIIs created by SHIELD under the authority of Anthony Stark and deployed by SHIELD (also piloted by SHIELD agents). They were deployed under the guise of protecting the remaining mutants after the Maximoff Incident.

I thought that it was the trial of Scott Summers, not Charles Xavier.

let's see what Scott thinks about crimes while being possessed
Attachment 83968

Good thing Scott is the defendant and not a juror; and Scott killing one man is hardly comparable to mass genocide or the near eradication of a species.

I thought that it was the trial of Scott Summers, not Charles Xavier.

As stated by the court “abandoning his mentors’ ideology of peaceful coexistence”. The defendant strayed away from his guardian principles.

You mean, the principles of mindwiping people when things don't go your way and keep sentient life-forms as slaves?

We don’t trade lives though. We shouldn’t be bullied into choosing the lesser of two evils.

He committed murder. PERIODTT

Under Professor Xavier’s rule, Mutants were doing much better. Scott just made things worse.

I would argue that the charges being brought forth are not sufficiently reasoned to warrant a trial - the killing occurred on an active battlefield. Can it truly be called murder?
