What yet remains to do is in your hands; but my hope is that
the more the defendant has pestered you with his solicitations—I
observed just now what he was up to in front of the courthouse-more likely I am
to obtain justice. For I would not insult any of you by imagining that you will
be indifferent to the cause in which you so heartily supported me before, or
that, in order to grant Meidias immunity for future outrages, any juryman
remembering his oath will give other than what he considers a righteous verdict.
