Oswald's upbringing likely to factor in sentencing


Ted Oswald's attorney has quite a challenge at the upcoming sentencing for the convicted cop-killer, hostage-taker, and bank robber. He says he will blame it on Ted's upbringing.


Perhaps he could base the argument on Gee, Officer Krupke.


Oswald:
...My Public Defender says I am not bad.
I was just brought up bad by Dad.


Jensen:
Ted's not bad, Ted's not bad, it was all his Dad,
His abusive, Klingon-speaking Dad.


Update: I exaggerate. Mr. Jensen did not say it was all the father's fault.

"Anybody who looks at this situation, who has had children and has any amount of compassion, has to recognize that James Oswald deserves 98 percent of the blame for what happened," Jensen said.
