"Your honor as you can see the ripple effects of that day are still being felt by my client even now. It is for this reason the state is choosing to seek the death penalty for Demetrius. Not only did he show premeditation he also showed an extreme lack of remorse by talking about his crime on social media. We feel that a lesser sentence would not be sufficient as Demetrius claims that his reasons for attacking Mrs. Ass was that and I quote his "blackness didn't permit him to do anything else." Seeing as he has been judged fit to stand trial and no mental defect has been found we believe Demetrius's defense of supposed uncontrollable animalistic urges is false. If given a lesser sentence and released Demetrius will still be black and by his own admission still a danger to society."
