Reads like stereo instructions. But I also found the whole situation to be a case in which the jury (not exactly a jury) had already made up their minds that the whole group of defendants were guilty and didn't want to hear any evidence to the contrary. I am surprised that they weren't building the gallows to have ready to go. It was very illuminating
