 |  Subject: Poliphilus was charged with public disorder - discharged  Thu Jun 28, 2007 12:18 am | |
| Bill of indictment - Quote :
- Your Honor, on 03/06/1455 in the Chard hall, Councilmember Poliphilus did defame myself, a noble and a civil servant by saying the following:
"You are once again completely out of context and out of space and time,Krelian.
Go read the thread again and tell me why you appear to be a moron. If you don't tell me in 8 hours, I will explain to you why :p"

Your honor, this man has been 100% in support of father Teagan's commitment of the SAME crime, and it has been discussed ad infinitum, he knew he was breaking the law, and he knew the consequences. Seeing as the victim is both a noble and a public servant, this crime is very serious. I shall elect the punishment I am seeking based upon Councilman Poliphilus's actions during the course of this case.
-PP, Krelian First defence pleading - Quote :
- In this first pleading I will limit myself to the procedural matters of the case,since there is no legal way that a trial can take place unless they are settled. I therefore ask for a mistrial to be declared on the following grounds:
1) A lawyer should have been assigned to me in compliance with :
Quote:
Art. 1.4.9. : Whosoever is accused of a crime in the County of Somerset, shall have the right to a Defence Counsel. This Defence Counsel shall have access to evidence under the right to disclosure, and shall provide mitigating evidence, testimony, witnesses, and may argue points of law regarding only the accused’s criminal charges.
2)A jury should have been appointed for the trial, given that the alleged crime is as per the Prosecutor's Bill of Indictment a serious one, (as it is supposed to be against civil servant) and it can lead to jail time. That in compliance with:
Quote:
Art. 3.6.5 Conducting a Judicial Case Using the Judicial Bench of Somerset
Case is initially filed by Public Prosecutor in-game through the bill of indictment.
The Public Prosecutor must add a notice in the bill of indictment stating that if the alleged crime is moderate to infamous, the defendant can make use of the Judicial Bench of Somerset system by appealing to the Judge in his/her first defense plea.
3. The sitting Judge should have been replaced since it is known to everyone frequenting the RK forum and to you most of all,Your Honour, that I have been in conflict with you regarding another case of alleged defamation. Specifically I had filed a complaint against you,which led to a compromise between us before Sir Lazy who was acting as a witness. You never abided with the deal we agreeded upon.So, I consider it as only appropriate that you recuse yourself from this case,given our political rivalry and personal conflicts.
In face of:
-the fact that I have been obliged to make this first pleading of mine without defence council. (The Prosecutor may argue that I am a member of the Law Society of England,a former PP and an applicant for the right of practice in Somerset,but noone can disregard the psychological burden of the prosecution upon the defendant,which without doubt calls for legal assistance)
-the principle of the continuous presence of the sitting Judge, according to which only a Judge that has been present during the whole trial is entitled to deliver a verdict.
I ask for a mistrial to be declared Prosecutor indictment - Quote :
- The Prosecutor didn't present to the Court.
Last defence pleading - Quote :
- My plea for a mistrial stands. The fact that the Public Prosecutor didn't present an indictment only strengthens my points.
Statement of accusation - Quote :
- it says that he will be leaving to go to the Kingdom of Greece my verdict is a mistrial
