I should add that Juliette is, at the start of this trial, sentenced to public whipping and a stay in a reformatory -- obviously not fun, but survivable -- and by the end of it, she and Paul are both sentenced to death, so, you know, good work there.

A classic example of how a man who is his own lawyer has a fool for his client, n'est-ce pas? Though I may dip into this just for Citizen Lenoir.
