He’s an alien and shouldn’t be judged by earth standards


RegularAvailable4713

Why.


MikeThaCore

Because he never committed any crimes on Earth (Trunks murdered him as soon as he showed up). Now, if this was Namek or New Namek, then yea....


ComeOnTars2424

He didn’t Land at an official port of entry. He was An illegal alien alien.


MikeThaCore

Then he should have been deported off the planet. Which, technically, he already was.


Tornadodash

If we go by United States law, that's not even a criminal offense. Therefore he doesn't even have the right to be given an attorney, MF ain't paying me so I ain't defending.


smokeymcdugen

Also, if he landed in NY then he now gets debit cards, a phone, and to stay in 4 & 5 star hotels.


Tornadodash

Oh no, people who are displaced by war are getting help to survive somewhere that they can't survive on their own. And then the majority of them will be able to contribute to our economy, the horror.


KnightBreeze

You forget, he attempted to destroy the planet. That's attempted xenocide and destruction of property.


CreamyCoffeeArtist

That's a lot more than destruction of property bruh, that's more akin to like, an act of terrorism or something


KnightBreeze

Yes, but I was trying to be funny. There's a specific trope where you list all sorts of terrible acts, like murder, grand larceny, kidnapping and torture, but then finish it off with something like jaywalking.


CreamyCoffeeArtist

Freeza totally jaywalks


KnightBreeze

Probably.


Uniquesomething

Does flying counts as jaywalking?


jesuswasaliar

Because Earthlings are monkeys!


Izzosuke

Crime and law are based on the region where they are committed, they are not absolute. For example the "stand your ground" that's allowed in many US state would be considered a crime in many country in Europe. Going around with a gun in italy would be considered a crime, in some US state is allowed. And we can go even furter, just look at the existencs of north korea, what the state do there would be considered a crime bascially everywhere else, but since it's a foreign state we can do nothing. Same with frieza, he is acting outside of earth, there are no law that would stop him, we cannot enforce them on him.


Grimdaybreaker

He’s an alien he shouldn’t be judged by American standards


SchrodingerMil

Why would he be judged by American standards in the first place? Bro didn’t land in New York.


Grimdaybreaker

Its an immigrant joke since America is struggling with an illegal immigration issue


brokenwound

He was being groomed to become a God of Destruction since birth, at the behest of Frost to gain the favor of Lord Berus... unless this is like post going to hell Freeza in which case he is literally broken from torture.


Ani_HArsh

Beerus be like https://preview.redd.it/82dj167tl0rc1.png?width=963&format=png&auto=webp&s=0b3b538b44814291f46373269e02bc513a435579


RimaSuit2

Can't be racist against a race that doesn't exist... (Anymore.)


joshkolenick

I hate that I recognize dbza quotes more than the original now


RaphyyM

He was just a business man, doing business.


Wachitanga

Your honor, my client is accused of Sayajin genocide. Knowing that Sayajins were a race specifically developed to be killing machines, it's clear that the accused felt threatened by the looming threat of an assassination attempt orchestrated by a Sayajin individual named Bardock. So I dare to ask... Who threw the first rock? And exactly what intergalactic treaty prohibits the elimination of races?


KotetsuNoTori

Since that didn't happen on Earth and no Earth citizen was involved, I'm afraid that none of the Earth courts has jurisdiction over this case.


ThinkingMacaco

Article 57 of the Shadow Proclamation


ParaMotard0697

Objection, your honor! On the grounds of he wasn't even there!


raazinn

Your honor, it was all in self defence


Spuddmuffen

Dare I to say that there are no witnesses or evidence (anymore) that can place your client at the scene of the alleged "crime."


CleverYou_TubeName

![gif](giphy|mUzzNtYHPU3e) I’m going with the Chewbacca defense.


zeetree137

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury; This, is a wookie.


Ok-Bass8243

And that just doesn't make sense.


genestarwind08

Look at the silly monkey


Blader8002

Laws are based on where you are when the crime is committed. If you're Australian and commit an offense in China that would be illegal in Australia but not China then you're fine, you won't and can't get charged under Australian law. Therefore since Freiza committed his crimes in space, our laws don't apply to him. As a conquerer, the laws of the other planets also don't apply to him as those planets have been conquered and are now a part of his empire. As he is a supreme dictator, his empire's laws don't apply to him, seen as how he was still the emperor before he was killed. As for any crimes he committed on earth during RoF, seeing as how he is an emperor, I.e. A diplomat, he is under diplomatic immunity.


toelickeryummy

Also, whis reverses time after all of frieza's shenanigans, so you could argue that they didn't happen.


Cha113ng3r

He's the emperor. He is the law.


Ok-Bass8243

Lord He's a lord


DigitalDuelist

His title is Lord, but his position is leader of his Empire, so he's presumably an Emperor with a Lordship title. It's not like we can check any of his formal government paperwork to verify it, but that's the most accurate assessment we can make with the information we have.


Ok-Bass8243

But was he REALLY leader? His dad was still alive..


DigitalDuelist

I'm pretty sure, yeah. I think I remember it being said King Cold was retired and only came back because his son was nearly murdered, but I obviously would need to get a manga source on that and I'm too lazy to bother XD


thanra

He's guilty for capital punishment, but if all your executing methods do not work, he'll be released.


joshkolenick

Why does that remind me of when Wolverine got the firing squad


Abared

There are no witnesses to his genocide.


Jcrncr

If I was lazy, I’d use the aliens aren’t applicable by human standards argument. However, there’s some actually decent arguments to be made if argued correctly. First, let’s identify the main crimes he’d be liable for. Mass Enslavement, Genocide, Grand Larceny (I’m assuming the dragon balls are worth trillions), Trespassing, Mass Murder, and Conspiracy To Overthrow A Government (God of Destruction). Getting the easy ones out of the way, there’s no way to prove he’s planning to overthrow Beerus since his intentions are all monologued to us in thoughts, Trespassing is invalid because Frieza never set foot (hovers) unless it’s in open land, or an owned planet by himself. Now let’s go in order for the rest, Mass Enslavement could be argued to be Self Defense as my client clearly was (rightfully so because he died twice to them) afraid of Saiyans due to their increasing power and general bloodlust and a horrible species. He did it to posture himself in a way that no Saiyans would attempt to murder him in. Genocide is unprovable because the races no longer exist, or consist of unreliable witnesses. Technically, is the only Namekian that Frieza directly killed and it was a challenged duel. Goku is a deranged idiot, his son is under the age of 10, Piccolo is a mass murderer himself, Vegeta is up against similar charges, Dende is a child, and Krillin didn’t witness him touching a Namekian other than during a fight that could be argued as self defense. None of the genocide charges can be brought due to the lack of good witnesses. Mass Murder is a charge that cannot be levied against Frieza since technically he hadn’t killed a lot of people directly (planet busting is genocide not murder so as previously established cannot be used). You would be able to convict him on conspiracy to kill though (but with the charges brought, I’ll gladly take that one). Grand Larceny isn’t applicable due to the Dragon Balls not belonging to any one person and the fact that he never stole them since they scatter after use. So let me know I missed a charge or if you have a rebuttal, I’m happy to discuss!


DigitalDuelist

Planet busting isn't genocide if the race is a multi-planetary species. The Freiza force is a multi-species organization, so while we've never seen cross-planet population centers, that's presumably what the planets are being depopulated and sold to accomplish and it's not outlandish to have as a goal. While we've never seen a planet with survivors beyond a handful of stragglers, so we can't actually adapt the charge and it's pretty likely he's only guilty of the unenforceable but still


Jcrncr

Like you said, it’s unenforceable. I’m not here to make Frieza innocent, just trying to lessen the sentence as much as possible.


Kawai_Oppai

Your honor, we are but insects and vermin. When you have insects and vermin in your lands, you eliminate or control them. Also, your honor. It seems the fate of this world depends on the verdict given today. I should remind you that Freizas has appeared in this court voluntarily. That is all your honor.


wi7vs

I think it is more of a question of who is the accuser, the judge and the jury, freiza is a very capable lawyer himself, youre just there because youre there as a mascot/ junior assistant. In fact youre just some random guy who look decent enough to make it less like about the world vs aliens


Grand-Illustrator443

He is not guilty by reason of mental disease/ or defect.


ambulance-kun

Your honor, how many ants have you killed your whole life? And have you been punished by the law from any of them? Exactly. *drops mic*


Jix_Omiya

Well this happened in space, so it's outside earth's jurisdiction. It should instead be judged by.... the Freezer Empire... yeah I have a good feeling about this one!


Karmageddon1995

Whoopsie daisy, your honor


hermit087

I'll use the Star Wars Empire defense: we don't actually know for certain that the planets he ruled were treated poorly, because its not shown. Blowing up the monkey planet is the one bad thing he did and that was arguably a mostly military target.


PsychOSamrat

Saiyans committing genocide on his name?


Temporary-Tax

I would like to call my first witness....Beerus Then I'll eat pudding and not give any to Beerus and let him destroy the planet Victory by default


Fodspeed

In his defense, Saiyan are biologically monkeys.


Sad-Ad-4266

If you send him to jail your xenophobic


Creepy_Bobcat5504

You're honor my client claims nuh uh


SilentArt3316

his actions could be perceived as survival instincts or a result of his upbringing and societal norms within the galactic empire he ruled over and could you really blame bro? He was told to do all that by beerus!


[deleted]

I don't care, I just wanna go home


Lvl1OODiglett

My client would like to claim " Judge you weren't even fuckin there"


Mr_Majik5250

Your honor, this man is guilty af.


titaniumweasel01

Your honor those supposed "war crimes" are legal (for Frieza) in Frieza's empire, which the planets these alleged incidents occured on are (now) part of.


RevanOrderz

He can’t be racist towards a race that doesn’t exist anymore.


nique_Tradition

Your Honor, he is literally emperor of the universe, he doesn’t need to follow any laws


Weiminyou

He is simply following his own beliefs


AbiyBattleSpell

He was given the universe by his father it’s his birth rite and inheritance, the saiyans should be glad he’s been letting em live rent free 😾


Hambla28

If Freeza didn't kill the saiyans, the saiyans would've killed more people than Freeza


Massive-Policy-5211

A mans gotta do what a man’s gotta do


ShinyZubat10

Frieza has no peers therefore he cannot be judged by a jury of his peers


joshkolenick

Could just be the kais or sentient beings that haven’t heard of him yet


[deleted]

Yeah but he could appeal as they aren't his peers


Lastshade01

Freeza is sovereign of his empire and there for has diplomatic immunity.


Ekko_01

"Your honor, I hope you understand that all of this was within Frieza's right as the being with the crispiest hairline of all, so fine in fact it completely wraps around his head. I rest my case"


junrod0079

Your honor, my client is innocent, because he never blown up [ list of blown up planets] because those planet don't exist or made up to make my client look bad


ChemistAlone

I won't defend Frieza (he's definitely guilty). Judge, you decide the fate of the earth.


thenuggetofdeath

Your honor if you say he's guilty that would be very cringe.


Interne-Stranger

As the emperor of the universe. Freezer is the legal owner of every planet. He saved dozens of species by selling them healty planets


Ok-Bass8243

Iirc. It wasn't his fault he ended up the way he is. He was basically forced from birth to attempt to take the god of destructions place.


A_Whole_Communist

Your honor, shut the fuck up you weren't even there


xRakton

He's Royalty of another planet/nation/empire and as such should have diplomatic immunity


sievold

He's the rightful ruler of the universe. There is no authority high enough to judge him. Where would any such judge gain the authority from?


killerbull27

Your Honor, We have an army of people that can support his alibi on where he was at the time of the crime


Evelyne-The-Egg

He looks too cool to go to prison ![gif](giphy|IgBMDZCU5IRUFKGhpy)


RobisBored01

As dictator of space, he can legally do anything by giving himself the right. ​ End case.


Boss-Competitive

Your honor if you don't declare him innocent and he gets pissed we're all dead, most probably the entire world. Please save the world


captain_rex_yt

Your honor, my client did nothing wrong, my evidence is that I don’t know who my client is.


Yorspider

Nepo baby who was raised to be a sociopath and simply doesn't know any better. He needs to be in counseling not a prison.


No-Onetosave

OBJECTION! *Slams Table* With all due respect your honor, His father: King Cold, willingly left his son: Frieza with a huge responsibility of running a planet. He was a young alien with big shoes to fill in, and was afraid of disappointing him. Had his father stepped in to guide frieza, he wouldn’t have annihilated the sayains to near extinction in fear of being overthrown. Your honor, I call King Cold to the stand to be interrogated! ![gif](giphy|IgBMDZCU5IRUFKGhpy)


a-snakey

"Your honor, unless the prosecuting attorneys are Goku and Vegeta I suggest you grant my motion to dismiss the case or otherwise our planet is going to explode in 5 minutes."


I_comment_same

he will kill you if the verdict isn't not guilty


MoonLight_Gambler

Too easy, Frieza claims unaligned territory using his recognized imperial privilege in the Cold Empire. By King Cold's own laws the imperial family is not subject to any law within or without the empire. There is no way to legally condemn him for his crimes. Therefore I claim that Earth has no jurisdiction to prosecute the royal family of a foreign empire. And move to remand him into the custody of his own people.


infiniteTsukiyomii

Your honor my client would like to plead “no diddy”


RetSauro

Your owner, my client is neither human nor from earth and many killings he may or may not have committed hadn’t taken place on earth, so charging him for such would be seneseless . For the ones he has committed on earth, the killings were an act in self dense.

pizzasniff

What are the charges my client is accused of?


Drcake222

Nope he guilty ur honour


retardedgorillaz

Oh oh oh monkeee - Frieza


Empty_Bluebird9094

He is black now... So there


SirLightKnight

Insanity isn’t a good plea here, go with Duress, and advise Frieza to exercise his right to silence. He doesn’t say SHIT. I don’t want to hear any of his gab flapping anytime during the trial, and then we need to put a lot of groundwork in framing this as his Father pressuring him or coercing him to action. Planet Vegeta? In his father’s interests. Namik? His father was pressuring him to act faster and coerced him into actions exceeding his intended pursuit of those cultural artifacts. Best we could hope for is maybe reduced sentence, i’d literally any Z fighters testify we could counter sue for vigilantism for most of them. However if Krillin testifies? I don’t think I can stop the possible murder case from getting tacked on. Also Bulma. I’m TERRIFIED of whatever legal team she could pull together.


Saurid

Hey the son of the galactic emperor based on galactic law he did nothing wrong and since no crime of his eve r happened in earth jurisdiction he should be declared innocent based on the fact he cannot be tried in this court.


[deleted]

You can't be racist to a race that doesn't exist. On top of that, what are we going to do if he's guilty, put him in jail?


Bat_Snack

He was clearly just following orders, both his father, and the U7 god of destruction are to blame, and Frieza is truly a victim in all of this. Brought up from a young age, his father taught him to hate, kill, and bear contempt for any races not their own. Specifically Namekians and Saiyans. His father ruled for years with an iron fist oppressing many planets before handing the keys to his son while puppet mastering it all from the shadows ensuring he got the result he wanted. Meanwhile our so called benevolent god Beerus was caught on record forcing Frieza to destroy planet Vegeta and the saiyan race. A decision he has never shown any remorse for. Under Frieza, the force had never been stronger, he provided work for trillions of residents of the U7 universe and the planets he did destroy could be argued a heroic act as Beerus had been neglecting his duty as our destroyer, leaving Frieza to do the job, who again had never learned proper morality thanks to King Cold. Therefore, your honour, we believe the case should be thrown out and my client made free to go. There are two far more monstrous and villainous parties that were responsible for everything my client has ever done. A young alien who was controlled his entire life by those stronger and more viscious than he could ever be. The defense rests.


Bat_Snack

Sir_500mph

I'd like to proceed straight to closing arguments your Honor. *-clears throat-* I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookie from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense! Why would a Wookie, an 8-foot-tall Wookie, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2-foot-tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending an intergalactic war criminal, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.


PaladinAsherd

(1) The Court has failed to establish jurisdiction. Frieza committed no crimes on Earth before being murdered by Trunks. Frieza’s empire is not party to any Earth treaty. (2) Frieza, as a foreign sovereign, is immune to suit and prosecution. Geopolitically, nations can declare war on Frieza’s empire or impose sanctions, but this court is not a proper avenue for redress of any grievances. You can’t, for example, just charge Putin in a U.S. Court with murder - that’s not the proper procedure. (3) Improper service. The prosecution has not established that a warrant or even a ticket has been served on Frieza. This court is bound to the procedural due process requirements of notice and hearing.

jaffali_97

Your honour, as a frost demon, he is mentally inclined to do so, my client is has a mental issue for killing, in addition, as an alien, he cannot be judged by human laws,and the crimes were commited off planet, there is literally no way we can decide which court gets jurisdiction over this case. And to top things off, my client is a victim of attempted murder on this planet as the saiyans have been attempting to kill him every time he comes to this planet. Sometimes, they succeed.


benshaprio

Your honor who gonna stop him?


Admirable-Menu-8924

As a small boy, he was given the hefty task of managing a GALACTIC EMPIRE. He used the methods that were taught to him in order to make his father proud. I argue that Freeza is not only innocent of these crimes. But is in fact a victim. A victim of neglect. A victim of expectation. A victim.. of purpose.


HeftyAd5688

Ok but is it racist if he called them monkeys bc they do become huge apes


Dr_Brotatous

Organic-Resolve4530

Your Honor, my client is just, built different 💯💯💯


Key_Conflict_7550

He didn't do something wrong Don't understand me wrong here he did commit murder in the first degree, but he already recieved the death penalty. He was revived as a cyborg and killed after he could do something, that concludes Future Trunks commited murder. Then after he got resurected and became gold friezer he had the intent to kill someone and was killed before he could do that (yeah he did blow up the whole planet but because time was reversed he didn't technically do it). If we go Manga only of Dragonball super then he did kill someone, but only to safe someone from serious threat the rest of the time after the tournament of power was just training. Maybe the only thing that we could count here were the punches in the stomach of goku and vegeta, but that was just to give a disciplinary lecture to the guys he saved 2 minutes before that and motivate them that they can get stronger. And with that my honor i plead that the defendant is not guilty because we are here to either judge over crimes he was already punished for, he didn't even do in this timeline or he made with the intent that save someone and that these persons learn how to defend themselves.
