"Greetings from Lowery city, i am Shaun Suresh for A1 news.Recapping our top story, a robotic lab assistant has been put on trial for murder.The robot, named model C-1, apparently killed his creator, the late Professor Asimov Solenson, in mercy after an explosion at his lab on the outskirts of the city.While some believe him, others think its an excuse, that the machine himself committed murder.The late professor was known for his work in advanced A.I. robotics, which is why C-1 has been ruled capable of standing trial.No one has come forward to defend the robot, leaving him to represent himself during the court hearing in a few days.Its this reporters opinion, that he wont last long without some help.In other news...." *A yellow humanoid robot stood inside a prison cell.His model number printed on his chest.He had very little in the way of a face, simply a head with visual receptors, and a speaker for a mouth.He looked around, staring blankly at the guard* "Situation outlook: poor."
