This is indeed serious. Very serious. Indeed, you will all search very deeply those who voted for Alcarillo, and I can probably tell you now, that fewer people than I will be most suspected...no one talked about it as much as I did, nor as certainly as I did. No one else was as set on getting him killed. I was obvious about it and maybe that'll help me when I saw, I honestly and absolutely thought he was a werecreature, and I myself and am absolute innocent, neither gifted nor wicked.
Today's talking will determine a lot for the future of this village. I regret to say that I will likely miss a lot of it because I am going to be extremely busy all day. I will, however, be doing my utmost to stay allert and with all the proceedings and I hope that if any defence for myself is necessary past now (which, I'm sure it is, since Menel has already half accused me *ahem*) I will be able to give it.
I apologize to every one for helping hang Alcarillo. I don't know what I can say to make you believe that I did it out of pure and true thoughts that he was a werewolf. I will say this - our village is dying. The innocent are being killed not only by the werecreatures, but also by the good villagers themselves. Even the Hunter chose an innocent. If I am killed, I will be one more good person dead and I will be leaving no trails to help you find who the evil are.
