The trial had been relatively short. Telepaths tended to expedite things as far as presenting a defense. The courtroom of Genosha had been completely destroyed during the attacks and so the public trial of Livia Raphael was being held in one of the storage rooms of their military headquarters.
The crates of equipment had been moved out and benches brought in for interested parties to watch the proceedings.
"Under the laws of Genosha you have been found guilty of your crimes," Exodus says, making no effort to hide his contempt for the old woman, "Before you are sentenced, do you have anything to say in your final defense?"
