Montague, who acts as Romeo's advocate at the trial, argues that Tybalt had already broken the law and incurred the death penalty by killing Mercutio. Romeo was therefore only carrying out the law by punishing Tybalt. "His fault concludes but what the law should end, the life of Tybalt." The Prince has no desire to encourage vigilante justice, so he does not acquit Romeo on this plea, but only reduces his sentence from death to banishment
