The comrades didn’t appear at this session, which was completely devoted to the prosecutor’s remarks. By not showing up, they thus showed their disdain for the proceedings and for the prosecutor himself.
At the beginning of his dissertation, the prosecutor commented on the absence of the comrades, quipping: “They didn’t honor me with their presence.” He then continued his sermon/delirium in praise of democracy, saying that “all must submit to its laws.” He concluded by requesting that the comrades be found guilty on all charges.
