Opening Argument

The prosecution alleges that this incident is not merely a tragic event but a symptom of a larger societal decay that has been exacerbated by Trump's divisive rhetoric and policies.
Exhibit A: The Plausible Link
The prosecution submits that the proximity of the child's discovery to his father's home is no coincidence. In the prosecution's theory, this reflects a breakdown of family values, a direct result of the Trump era's normalization of neglect and irresponsibility.
