The judgment

The courtroom is packed with people eager to hear the judge's ruling after intense days of confrontation between the prosecution, defense counsel and witnesses.

The blow of the hammer works as a damper and everyone remains silent.

The judge speaks

-Since the jury has not been able to reach a verdict on the fact that the defendant has committed homicide or that the act can be considered suicide, and the crime committed by the defendant is not typified in the law, it is impossible to convict or release him, so we suspend the trial until a solution to this dilemma is found and the defendant will continue to be deprived of his liberty until a sentence or release is achieved.

Karl Haussman breathes a sigh of relief, he knows that his act will always be remembered and that now he will not only be one more who agreed to volunteer to be cloned, but he will be remembered as the first who managed to make the law look like an eyesore.

One day, tired of seeing himself in another, he decided to end the nightmare and killed him.

What nobody knows is that he is the clone and not the accused they think they are judging and when after hours, days or months of deliberation they manage to create a law in which it is considered homicide and not suicide to take the life of a clone, then he will prove that he has not been the executor of the crime, since he is not the Karl they think but the one they think has died and according to what his own lawyer has explained to him they will have to release him and declare the trial null and void.

They will then have to start all over again the whole legal plot that is synthesized in accusing him, imprisoning him and judging him.

Those moments of freedom when he can be alone will serve him to disappear, because he is tired of being someone else's copy and man has never taken into account in his experiments or technological advances the psychological impact that these may leave on the majority, they have always been considered collateral damage.

Life is surprising and believing oneself to be a god is an eternal curse.
