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 (Remanded to lower court - no longer applicable.)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

I move for a mistrial as the Judge brought the charges. The Judge is out of order. He must be a liberal.

Sorry, but I never log on Chiefsplanet with my home PC.

EVER.

Only at work.

Redrum_69 · 11-02-2006, 08:53 AM

The defense would like to enter a plea.

Mecca sent me a PM stating that he wants to plead guilty and wants to be banned.

You do realize that your work IP address can be tracked much more easily than your home address?

I could call your home ISP and get the runaround for days and they would NEVER tell me who you are.

On the flipside, I could call your office and you'd be in your boss' office in less than a day...

The prosecution has only alledged that Mecca has posted opinions on CP bulletin board, which in no way can be construed as "aid" to the enemy. "Comfort" as it is used with respect to treason cases does not include mere words, but must also be part of an act (an example is providing housing or food to enemy troops or support personnel during time of war).

All of mecca's expressions cited so far by the prosecution are fully protected under Mecca's 1st amendmentment free speech priviledge. In no way does asserting that Antrell Rolle not suffer league punishment or even be accused of a "cheap shot" aids or comforts the enemy.

If the prosecution could prove that mecca's assertion in some way influenced a member of the league office in determining Antrell Rolle's punishment, perhaps the prosecution would have a case. Even in such a situation, since the Cardinals do not play any further games against the Chiefs and are not in the AFC, in no way could any decision favorable to rolle damage the chiefs. Therefore, it is impossible for mecca to have committed treason as understood in american jurisprudence.

The court would like to hear the prosecution's rebuttal to this argument.

I believe the lead defense attorney has been bribed, is out of order and must be held in contempt of court.

Attica! Attica!

PastorMikH · 11-02-2006, 11:51 AM

I'm running a bit behind today at the links so you'll need to hold up the trial for a while.

Actually, I may play another 18 so is there any way we can put this of 'till tommorow?

Hey, why is the door to the court room shut and locked?

It should be noted that I intend to offer Mecca amnesty.

My authority supercedes the authority of this court.
