[ WP ] A court that prosecutes time travelling criminals is once again charging someone for the attempted murder of Adolf Hitler .

The metallic record droid floated about the courtroom, the bright lights reflecting off its polished aluminum body, its single eye-like camera taking in the exchange between the defense and opposition. Whatever it recorded now would be archived in the court's library for eons to come. 
 
 `` Your honor, my client regrets the decisions he's made.'' The tall man in the suit said, glancing at his client, who now wore a bright orange jump suit. The judge glared at the man. 
 
 `` The many *bad* decisions your client has made.'' The judge stated, shaking his head. `` Do you have anything to say for yourself, Mr. Bolton.'' 
 
 The man in the orange jump suit stood to his feet, his head had been shaved and his hands were cuffed behind his back. 
 
 `` Your honor, I nearly lost my whole family in the Holocaust. If you could go back in time to save your lineage, would you?'' The man asked. The judge locked his eyes with the defendant. 
 
 `` You are not the first person to attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler since time travel became public, and you will not be the last. You are not unique in thinking that maybe Adolf's death would save millions of lives, but it would also alter history. If he were to die, myself and you may not even be sitting here right now.'' The judge said. 
 
 `` Yes, but so many would be saved.'' The time criminal said. 
 
 `` History can not be altered, Mr. Bolton, it must run it's course. Time is linear, we can go back, but we are not allowed to bend it, as it it may break. The fact remains that your transponder has alerted the Time Guards of your travel to the World War 2 era, on 3 separate occasions, which you and me both know, is illegal. On this such occasion, the Time Guards found you in the woods outside Hitler's quarters with a hand gun. I do not need to explain myself any further.'' The judge's face was now turning red. 
 
 `` But, your honor...'' The criminal began. 
 
 `` I will have silence in my court from you, Mr. Bolton. You are too dangerous to be let out once again. Although we have not perfected future travel yet, I can certainly predict your next 30 years. A life sentence in the time cellars and a removal of your time travel license. Should you ever meet your parole expectations, you will never time travel again.'' 
 
 And with that, the judge slammed his gavel of judgement on his stand.
