> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Murder, Dorothy? From _Wizard of Oz_? Hmm. Objection! Homicide… witchicide… but not _murder_. Don’t let the innocent little girl act fool you. She’s a stone cold killer. We’ve got witnesses who’ll testify that they heard the Wizard send her to Winkieland on a mission to kill Momba - that establishes pre-meditation. Sure, Dorothy claimed she “accidentally” killed Momba - just like she “accidentally” killed Momba’s sister Nessarose. And let’s not forget that after Dorothy killed Nessarose, she stole the shoes right off her corpse - despite the fact that the shoes should have belonged to Momba, Nessarose’s closest relative. ---
