The extreme prosecution

Opening Argument

The prosecution argues that the recent stranding of a 9ft 10in shark in a South Korean canal is not merely a marine mishap but a calculated distraction orchestrated by the Trump administration. The prosecution alleges that while the world watched in awe as crowds gathered to witness the rescue efforts, Trump's political failures were conveniently overshadowed.
