The Solicitor General praises the Jewish people as having been civilized before his own before proceeding with the details of the case. Leo Max Frank is then exposed for what he truly is: a liar and pervert. Despite having come from an intelligent, rich, and successful background, Leo Frank made mistakes that men (both Jewish and Christians/gentile/non-Jewish) greater than him had made before he raped and murdered Mary Phagan. Various examples are cited that show great human beings have made tragic mistakes in their lives. The list includes people like King David and Judas Iscariot from the Bible, Abe Hummell, Abe Reuff, Schwartz, Henry Clay Bettie, amongst others. They go on to argue that circumstantial evidence is good as any other when it comes towards executing a successful conviction.
