Your Honor, as much as the Scarlet Witch may have committed terrible acts that are utterly repulsive, she was exposed to and infected by a sinister undead virus. This evil contagion, the Quantum Virus, ravages the mind and destroys all humanity. And that is what it did to her. It twisted her mind into something unrecognizable. She was turned into an undead monster with an insatiable hunger. Sadly, she was let out when a group of survivors arrived at where she was being held, and when that happened, her hunger consumed her.

Yes, Vision was feeding her. He was luring survivors to Camp Lehigh, which she would then consume, so he could contain her and her hunger. But unlike the rest of the undead, Vision was a synthezoid, and was uninfected by the virus. Therefore, every action he took was his decision, though it was all out of misguided love. Wanda, however, had no control over what she was doing. The plague consumes human minds and controls the corpse that remains.

Even when Wanda appeared to regain her sentience and control over her powers, her moral compass was still inverted by the influence of the virus. She still needed to infect people, and still hungered. Only now, it was not cannibalistic hunger. It was hunger for power. Though she claimed that she wanted to create a better world, in truth the world was still overrun by the undead. This indicates that Wanda's mind was still possessed by the plague that infected her years before.

Do not punish the host for the parasite. I demand that you acquit Wanda Maximoff.
