Opening Argument

Exhibit A: The Plausible Link

The Domino Effect
In the prosecution's theory, these protests are just the tip of the iceberg.
The Hidden Danger
The prosecution urges that if left unchecked, this unrest could lead to a generation of disillusioned youth, ripe for manipulation by radical elements.
