Defendant: Well, your honor, turn to this very King James Bible you sworeme in on to Deuteronomy 14:21.God directed: “Ye shall not eatof anything that dieth of itself, thou shalt give it or sellit to a stranger to eat.” God told me to sell to a strangersome rancid meat. If he gets sick or dies, it’s God’s will, notmine. I was just following God’s Biblical orders. Judge, if youfind me guilty, and, if you believe in the Bible; you must findGod guilty too.
