Note: announced by Judge Cal as first to be executed
When the insane Judge Cal announced that he was going to execute everybody in Mega-City, he declared: "The executions will begin tomorrow in Sector 1, starting with Mr. Aaron A. Aardvark and finishing with Mr. Zachary Zziiz. Then on to Sector 2 and so on. Now, I want things carried out in an orderly manner. Report to your execution stations in good time. No barging... in the queues. And bring a book in case there is a delay."
Aaron A. Aardvark's birth name was actually Eric Plunket. He changed his name so that he could be listed first in the phone book.
Judge Dredd eventually defeated Chief Judge Cal, but not before the executions began. Dredd's defeat of Cal happened too late for Aaron, who was indeed the first executed under this order.
