The man is asked if he has anything to say in his defence. He stutters and stumbles through a cringe worthy attempt to appeal for his freedom, ending with the words “….and, uh, sorry but this is very hard without a solicitor”. The judges feel that they have little choice but to send him to prison, and that is where he goes, bewildered and frightened.
