Albert’s Speech
Albert requested permission to speak for himself instead of having a lawyer speak on his behalf. He had to provide his perspective on the matter. He talked about the garden he and June had created together, its unjustified destruction, and June’s following decline in a clear and powerful voice.
Right up until his neighbor dumped cement over his own little piece of heaven, he talked about how much he loved the scenery and how he cared for the protected wetlands. Anyone could see that this was a man speaking the truth.
