Hear ye, hear ye! The monkey trial is about to begin! - Page 7

**Rain Man** · 10-24-2006, 04:48 PM

As a long-time observer and poster on Chiefsplanet, I have noticed a wee bit of conflict recently between one Mecca and several other posters. The conflicts have been escalating, and I think it's time that the Chiefsplanet legal system stepped in.

I am declaring a monkey court to be put into place for the purpose of placing Mecca on trial. As a known neutral party, I shall serve as the judge for this trial. The charges are:

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. Threats to kill other Chiefsplanet members in the interest of protecting animals.

Charge 5. General mayhem.

Additional charges may be filed by the prosecution before the trial begins.

By participating in the trial, all parties agree that the rulings of the court will stand, unless for some reason they don't want to listen to the court.

Over the course of the next few days, the following will take place.

1. Mecca may appoint a lawyer to represent him, or he may choose to represent himself. The lawyer need not be a real lawyer. He may also choose to have a larger defense team if he wishes, but the lead defender will be the only official voice.

2. The opposing side will choose a lawyer to represent them, or if none can be chosen, I shall select one. The lawyer need not be a real lawyer. Might I suggest that candidates nominate themselves in this thread, and I will then create a poll, with the largest votegetter being selected as lead prosecutor. The prosecution may also choose to have a larger prosecution team, but the lead prosecutor will be the only official voice.

3. I will request volunteers with possible actual legal experience to serve as my backroom legal team in running the trial. Any attorneys want to volunteer for this task? You cannot be part of the prosecution or defense, or be a potential witness for either side.

4. A random selection of Chiefsplanet members with more than 500 posts will be solicited for jury duty. We will then work with the prosecution and the defense to select the jury.

5. Then...the trial begins.

I would advise both sides to begin preparing their legal teams immediately. Jury selection will begin later this week.

Okay.

I'll remove you from the list.

I'm out. Goodnight.

This thread is awsome. Drama from both sides of the argument makes it interesting. And I just want to note that I have never had a spat with Mecca, therefore making me pretty impartial.

I'd like to enter the accusation that Mecca is Tom Kash.

frazod already accepted. You can be the guy on TV who says, "The people are real. The cases presented are real."

Judge Wapner, Rusty and Mike Lewellen.

INstead of peoples court music, might I suggest, MNF theme music with Al Michaels adding the commentary.

Good idea.

Well....I could be on the defense team....I always like the underdog. Anyway...no one expects us to win, so if you pull it off great. If you lose...well...your case was impossible, cause it was a biased jury.

And...i do have some responsibility here. See, I knew Mecca from the AOL football chatroom and I was the one that told him about the planet.

Of course, I also was the one that got QT to come here, so you need to take that into consideration

It's all your fault. QT does help your case though.

You have a lot of courage to admit that, or you're just totally stupid!
