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 (Remanded to lower court - no longer applicable.)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

Please accept the court's apologies.

(Banging gavel to the tune of the theme from King of the Hill, which is a really hard tune to play on the gavel.)

This court is incompetent

Redrum_69 · 11-08-2006, 09:12 AM

Again, after calling the witnesses, they failed to take the stand due to the prosecution paying them off.

I call mistrial

It is the defense's responsibility to ensure that their witnesses show up.

Closing statements! The prosecution and the defense may make closing statements, and I'll allow statements by both the lead and the assistants on each team.

Y'know, these robes are really comfortable.

I will be out of pocket most of the day, so if this moves to a jury vote, here's my secret ballot for the judge.

ONLY THE JUDGE AND OTHER JURY MEMBERS PLEASE! NOBODY ELSE BETTER LOOK!

[Judge thinking to himself]

Where do we get these jury members? Maybe we should start paying more.

[Judge done thinking to himself]

**Donger** · 11-08-2006, 10:27 AM

I like monkeys. Would you like to buy a monkey?
