Answer:

“I’m Governor William Cosby, and I think Zenger needs to be punished for publishing lies against the ruling government. His publication is false, malicious, seditious, and scandalous. It damages my reputation and authority.”

“I’m Peter Zenger, and everything I published is authentic and can be verified. I take full responsibility for the publication. I published it because the public needs to know the truth about our government."

“I’m lawyer Andrew Hamilton, and I think the jury should examine the truth behind what was published. My client can be charged with libel only if what he published can be proven false. It is not the cause of one poor printer, but the cause of liberty.”
