Judges inquiry in omam George
The Judges inquiry- George
Notes on George’s character:
George loved Lennie and Promised Aunt Clara that he would look after him. Lennie had previously got in trouble. Curley would have got Lennie lynch anyway and he would have done it in a gruesome manner and inflicted pain on him. George wouldn’t have been able to stand there and just watch, he took the decision to kill Lennie himself, this not being an easy task itself. What he thinks what has happened is that he has underestimated Lennies strength and due to this previous occasion and Lennie mental state he could kill again easily. The jury wouldn’t understand as it was every man for himself at this time, Lennie and George where very close.
Statement to the court:
I am George Milton, an honest hard working ranch worker; I worked alongside my companion Lennie Small. Lennie had mental health issues that made him very dependent on one person. His Aunt Clara intrusted me to look after Lennie and take him down the right route to find work for us. I did not see this as a time to take advantage of this great trust, I had a companion at the great depression of this country, and for anyone to say to me I am a murderer I would say you are correct, I did shot Lennie in the back of the neck. Not for the reasons you denounce me for. I shot Lennie to take his pain away he was a grown man with no mind of his own. He had previously touched a girls dress in Weed for the sheer fact he loved to pet soft fabric, the lady started to squawk and Lennie tried to make her quiet as his instinct would tell him to. God damn chased out of Weed next thing you know we have a mob against us. Now just think at this moment I could have left Lennie there to make my life much easier, if that was my intentions hell I coulda planned to kill him with no one in the world knowing he was dead. And if I wanted him dead you think I would shoot him with everyone to see? Kinda dumb don’t you think? I never saw Lennie for how he was very
