Panel 1 (courtroom scene):

A balding man in a green shirt stands and gestures, addressing the court: "IN CONCLUSION, I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD A LAWYER, BUT I DON'T NEED ONE, SINCE I HAVE THREE VIDEOS OF THE DEFENDANT SHOOTING ME IN THE STOMACH WHILE SHOUTING HIS NAME."

A man with reddish-brown hair in the foreground (seated, raising his arm) calls out: "OBJECTION! THE JURY WILL NOTE THAT MY CLIENT IS A WEALTHY CELEBRITY!"

A judge sits at the bench in the background.

Below the panel, a tilted document reads:
VERDICT: GUILTY
CHARGE: BULLET THEFT

Votey:

A shirtless, grinning man (the defendant) stands with one arm raised holding up a video camera that points at himself, while his other hand holds a gun pointed at his own stomach. Two speech bubbles, one from each side, both read: "I'M ZACH WEINER!" A label at the bottom of the camera's view / panel reads: "oRECORDING".

A four-panel-wide courtroom comic. A balding man in a green shirt stands and addresses the court: "In conclusion, I may not be able to afford a lawyer, but I don't need one, since I have three videos of the defendant shooting me in the stomach while shouting his name." In the foreground a red-haired attorney raises his arm and shouts, "Objection! The jury will note that my client is a wealthy celebrity!" A judge sits at the bench behind them. A tilted court document below reads "VERDICT: GUILTY" and "CHARGE: BULLET THEFT" — the wealthy celebrity is convicted not of shooting the man but of stealing the bullets. Votey: a shirtless grinning man holds a video camera aimed at himself in one raised hand and a gun pointed at his own stomach in the other; two speech bubbles both say "I'm Zach Weiner!" and a "oRECORDING" indicator shows, revealing how the incriminating videos of the celebrity shouting his own name while shooting were made.
