The Defendant: Mecca

The Judicial Team

Presiding Judge: Rain Man
Chief Legal Clerk: trndobrd
Assistant Legal Clerk: banyon
Chief Bailiff: frazod
Assistant Bailiff: slag02
Court reporter and commentator: Greg63
Court reporter and commentator: SPChief

Prosecution Team:

PastorMikH
Chieficus
AZChiefFan
NJChieffan
Metrolike
mmaddog

The charges:

Charge 1. Treason in the first degree for predicting a poor season for the Chiefs.

Charge 2. Treason in the first degree for citing that the Geathers hit on Trent Green was innocent and non-fineworthy.

Charge 3. Treason in the first degree for citing that the Rolle face mask was not an act of evil visited upon a Chief by an opposing player.

Charge 4. (Remanded to lower court - no longer applicable.)

Charge 5. General mayhem.

Here is the process. In order to grant the defendant the right to a speedy trial, we will employ a shortened nine-step process.

Step 1. The prosecution and defense will make their opening statements. We will hear from the lead prosecutor and defender and any assistant prosecutors or defenders who wish to speak as well.

Step 2. The prosecution will make its case. They may call any witnesses needed and present any evidence. At this time, the jury may ask questions for clarification purposes only. (This is an enlightened courtroom.)

Step 3. The defense will make its case, and may cross-examine any prosecution witnesses. At this time, the jury may ask questions for clarification purposes only.

Step 4. The prosecution may make a rebuttal, and may cross-examine any defense witnesses. At this time, the jury may ask questions for clarification purposes only.

Step 5. The prosecution will make their closing statement.

Step 6. The defense will make their closing statement.

Step 7. Jury deliberations.

Step 8. The reading of the verdict.

Step 9. If the defendant is guilty of any charges, the court will provide the sentencing.

The trial begins now, with opening statements by legal counsel.

<----Files motion to dismiss PastorMikH from the jury on the grounds of juror misconduct. Jurors are not allowed to express opinions about the case until all evidence is in, even among themselves. Defense requests the 1st alternative juror be seated in Pastor's place.

OK OK OK...i know...real court rules are not allowed. Sigh, no wonder I wasn't appointed lead counsel.

They'll all be crippled when I whip out the Chewbacca defense for my closing remarks. No worries.

[PastorMikH thinks to himself]

This bunch of defenders must really be dense. First off, they allow a jury canidate to remain on the jury that has stated all the way back that he is a hostile witness to the defense.

But that isn't nearly as bad as letting their client handle his own case. The more they let him talk, the worse it's going to be for them.

Yep, they're a Dream Team alright - for the prosecution.

And I hope they kick me off the case quick. That way JimN will owe me on our side bet as to who gets out of duty/kicked off first.
