I agree, please read the book!
Billy Budd was innocent!
He never intended to kill Claggart.
Claggart was the antagonist who was plotting against Billy secretly. Billy should not have been charged with murder. He should have been charged with manslaughter!
I regret my decision on hanging Billy. I used to justify it with military neccesity because we were at war. The law should change, not the people. Billy never did anything to deserve such a punishment. I am sorry Baby Billy....
