Panel 1:
Lawyer (a man with brown hair, in a blue suit, leaning toward his client): "So, they've offered us a plea bargain: if you plead guilty, you still get the lethal injection, but the victim's sister will go on a date with me."

Caption (below the panel): My platform of "come on man, she's hot," did little to sway him.

Votey:
The lawyer (now drawn in a loose sketch style), exasperated: "Well, if you were gonna be so stubborn, you shouldn't have killed all those kids!"

A lawyer in a blue suit leans toward his bald client (seen from behind, in an orange prison jumpsuit) and explains: "So, they've offered us a plea bargain: if you plead guilty, you still get the lethal injection, but the victim's sister will go on a date with me." A caption below reads: My platform of "come on man, she's hot," did little to sway him. The joke is that the lawyer's plea deal benefits only himself. In the votey aftercomic, a sketchy close-up of the frustrated lawyer adds: "Well, if you were gonna be so stubborn, you shouldn't have killed all those kids!"
