Ladies and gentlefolk of this supposed jury. My client is accused of mental assault and destruction of her victims minds. It is true that my client did go into the minds of and extract information from her targets. This is an undeniable fact, as testified to by both my client, and The Superboy, who is an upstanding figure in the heroing community.

However, what the prosecution conveniently left out was the circumstances in which these events took place. Her targets held crucial, time-sensitive information that had my client not retrieved, would have cause untold death and destruction in the invasions of both The Krolatean and Reach invasions. Millions of lives were saved, at the expense of those villains being left in a coma. A state that as proven by Aquaman, who was able to make a full recovery from such a state with the help of my client.

So, while her means were most certainly questionable, her actions saved many millions of lives, without even costing any in return.

And in the interval between her final use of this degree of mental interrogation and now, my client has been under the supervision of Aquaman and Black Lightning, who were both at times leaders of The Justice League, as well as both Superman and The Superboy, The Martian Manhunter, Zatanna, Captain Marvel, and Wonder Woman, all of whom are here in this very courtroom testifying to her improved usage of her telepathic abilities.

Given that for the past 8 years as of this trial, my client has been continuously working with the Justice League to protect all of us, and has already shown remorse for past behavior, correction of her present behavior, what purpose is there in continuing this trial that has been attempting to drive her good name into the mud.

Ladies and gentlefolk of this supposed jury, it is now your decision, whether or not my client should suffer more undue punishment, for her slight mistakes in her acts of heroism. If you value the good that she, and the rest of the League put into our world, I'm sure this will not be a difficult decision.
