Oscar Wilde
The lawyer for the government wanted to give up the case, but many people knew about it. Another government lawyer thought it was too well known to give up.p435 Wilde went to court again. The court sentenced him to (made him do) two years of work in prison. They also sentenced another man, named Alfred Taylor. The judge thought it was not harsh enough, but it was illegal to keep him in prison for longer. Wilde tried to respond to the judge, but others in the courtroom yelled "Shame", so that no one could hear him.
