My bad on the false-positive with the ban. If you don't mind, I'll now take the opportunity to pursue an unrelated matter I've been thinking about, which will unfortunately make life more difficult for everyone.


AMICUS BRIEF OF BACON KINGMAN, ATTORNEY AT LAW

A. I note Section 6 of the Re-Consolidated Criminal Justice Act, which states:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

B. I note Article III, Section 2 of the Second Constitution, which states:

Quote
You must be logged in to read this quote.

C. I note, as an aside, that the law requires adherence to a Constitution that has not been in effect for three years.

D. I note, however, that the relevant verbage of the current Constitution appears to be functionally identical:

E: I note that this trial is invalid, as no jury has been prepared for this trial and the region in which this crime was committed is not defined by law.

F: Furthermore, I note 3rd Constitution, Article VI, Clause 12, which states:

Quote
You must be logged in to read this quote.

G: I note that the crime can be fairly considered to match the common law definition of "infamous crime" and therefore a grand jury would be required to indict the defendant before any trial could begin.

H: I note that Due Process and Equal Protection of the laws are Constitutionally guaranteed by Article VI, Section 3:

Quote
You must be logged in to read this quote.

I therefore conclude:

  • The Constitution required this criminal case to receive the indictment of a grand jury, which it has not.
  • Federal statute requires this criminal case to be judged by a jury of the defendant's peers, and no such jury has been sequestered.
  • These two facts demonstrate that the defendant has been denied equal protection of Atlasia's laws pertaining to criminal trials.
  • The three preceding facts demonstrate that, should this trial continue and the defendant be found guilty, he will be unconstitutionally deprived of his liberty without receiving due process guaranteed to him as an Atlasian citizen.
Therefore, it is legally evident that charging the defendant with anything would be impossible without gross violations of both statute and guaranteed constitutional rights.

Thank you kindly for your time.

Wouldn't clause 3 allow for a retrial? "Legitimate"

Nope, the "legitimate" language isn't applicable; the RCCJA specifically requires that the Second Constitution be observed. I merely posted the equivalent section of the Third Constitution as a reference. I suppose though if you can explain your way around the fact that a new statute specifically adheres to a Constitution that's been out of date since 2010, then we can channel Todd Akin for a moment and argue over the definition of "legitimate" Tongue
