{Logbook_Entry_15_03_2035}
>>Came up with another classic setting.  A murderer, with schizophrenic tendencies, argues that there is no free will and killing is his destiny. Furthermore a determination of the universe itself. Sounds ridiculous? Yes, so I will try to freeze some bones with a dark and scary little thrash musical about it..muahaha
What did Kant say...ipso facto free will is a prerequisite for morality. Guess a judge would supplement with the words: So are atrocities. Good and bad, something that is no longer identifiable in this dawn of a new era. Human vs. machine vs. wrecked freaks hotted up with biomechanic gimcracks. Ups..just looked at myself..hahaha. Over and out!<<

lyrics

THE HUNTER
All of you. The system that knows so much. You decide what's right or wrong. The same way how you decide what's funny or not!


Reporters and bystanders are in front of the courtroom. Awaiting a prosecution.
TV-REPORTER FROM X-TV
The teen was killed and appeared to be in a brutal manner.
This horrific incident shock the entire town. With so little evidence the case was never solved.
Until now.

Policemen are taking the hunter inside the court.
THE HUNTER
I am innocent. You'll see.

The hunter takes a seat in front of the judge with the big mob behind him.

THE HUNTER
So I'm accused of mass murder?
THE MOB
Merciless Hunter!

THE HUNTER
But I'm not the one, it's a hunt for a phantom.
THE MOB
Sentence the madman!

THE HUNTER
I can't foresee what I will be in reality I don't kill. They're dead before I start to will,
Your perception...rather an illusion.

THE JUDGE
This is the magistrate reading the lawsuit:
Hearing of evidence by summoning witnesses clearly proves:
You killed those people without scruple. This is the actual truth.
So tell me, what is your excuse?

THE HUNTER
Acquittal! there is no free will
THE JUDGE
Void it to be too abstruse.
THE HUNTER
My mad mind is programmed to kill.

HUNTER & THE MOB
Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill the Killer!

THE HUNTER & THE JUDGE
A murderer's excuse:
Anything is following a root.

THE HUNTER
Just like me, the murder machine?

THE MOB
Out of his mind!

THE HUNTER
But to kill is not my thrill, it's a right deep inside me.

THE MOB
Lock up the maniac!

THE HUNTER
Hearts may detect the truth to be used in reality but beware!
Your noes may not understand the fact,  your justice only a reflection.
 
THE JUDGE
This is the magistrate aksing you:
Are you unaware of the consequences of your actions?
Do you understand the charges against you and how do you wish to plea?

THE HUNTER
With all due respect, your honor...not guilty!

THE JUDGE
Then tell me now what is your excuse?
THE HUNTER
Acquittal! There is no free will.
THE JUDGE
Void it to be too abstruse.
THE HUNTER
My mad mind is programmed to kill.

HUNTER AND THE MOB
Kill! Kill! Kill the Killer!

THE JUDGE
Justice! or just nothingness?

THE HUNTER
Eyes of intensity, now they target me.
Fear and perplexity versus hate and disgust.

THE MOB
Why don't you hang him high? Hang Him high!
You should hang him high! Hang him high!

THE HUNTER
Just breathe vengeance, cause we all breathe vengeance.

THE JUDGE
This court will adjourn to consider a verdict.
THE HUNTER
Time to execute!

Hunter jumps on the table and whips out a guitar.

THE HUNTER
Watch this!

THE JUDGE
Hey, behave yourself - any last words before the judgment?
THE HUNTER
Listen up, you're so-called " good and bad" are just ideas like everything.
And everything is me like in the beginning.

THE JUDGE
Enough! I term you insane. You're taking justice out of human hands and
put it in your own. You cant tell right from wrong.
THE HUNTER
Oh come on, your concepts cant hold me back from being me.
Eviternity!
One mind!
THE JUDGE
Which mind? 
THE HUNTER
One for all
THE JUDGE
Stop! Everybody now! Stand Up!
Here is the verdict: Guilty!  In the name of a human will!
Death penalty.  

HUNTER
Reactions are foregone.
Illusions of free will.
Like puppets on a string.
But who gets moved to kill?

The Judge become angry and growls with all his might.

The visual appearance of Hunter changes.
Now looking similar to the judge he takes the gavel and holds it high, ready to smash.

So...
We are one, soul that sucks, sucks out life, to exist. (We exist)
This is my. This is our. My rescue

HUNTER & THE JUDGE
A murderer's excuse:
Anything is following a root.
