I formally request that the Supreme Court promptly assigns to this trial a Justice, that it summons a legally constituted Jury and that I may be permitted to present evidence so that the Justice may appropriately determine its admissibility.

Just FTR, this has been seen. We're working out the arrangements.

Official Atlasia Supreme Court Release
Nyman, DC

People of the Republic of Atlasia v. Ebowed and others

The Supreme Court of Atlasia has discussed this matter and designated Associate Justice TJ to preside over the trial of Ebowed and Turkisblau, who stand accused of Acts of Treason by the Attorney General.

The Court reminds the defendants that they have the right to legal counsel as guaranteed in Art. III, §2 of the Constitution. If they wish to waive this right they should inform the Court of this.

These proceedings shall be governed according to  Art. III, §2 the Constitution of Atlasia, in conjunction with the Re-Consolidated Criminal Justice Act (2013).

The details of the trial will be announced as soon as the Attorney General and the defendants have been informed of the proceedings.

[Türkisblau]

BK will be representing myself and ebowed.

[TJ in Oregon]

Will Ebowed confirm this?

[Ebowed]

Will Ebowed confirm this?

Indeed.

[TJ in Oregon]

Now that the defense counsel has been chosen, it is time for the jury selection.

A criminal case requires a randomly selected jury made up members of the region in which the defendant is being tried. To do this, I have generated a random sequence of numbers from 1-17, signifying the residents of the Pacific region in alphabetical order, minus those who are named in this thread as a defendant, counsel, or the Attorney General:



8  : Jonathan Swift
13: Simfan34 7: IndyRep
4  : Computer09 12: sbane 11: Roy Barnes 17: Wulfric 15: Superique
2  : Antonio V 10: potus2036
14: Spamage 6: Gully Foyle

I will be contacting those selected to confirm whether they are willing to serve, and if they are not, a replacement will be selected using the same method. I will entertain any serious objection to the credibility or impartiality of these jurors from either party.

[Ebowed]

I object to the inclusion of Simfan34 for the simple fact that I ordered his incarceration and in turn he ordered my termination.  There is a clear conflict of interest in his serving on the jury.

[TJ in Oregon]

Objection sustained. The Court will seek a replacement for Simfan34 due to a conflict of interest. The next number to come up was 7 (IndyRep). He will be contacted instead.

[Türkisblau]

I would like to object to the inclusion of Spamage seeing as we've had a personal feud for some time and the fact that he started the anti-Just Government group "Solidarity with Simfan."

[Bacon King]

I am indeed representing both defendants.

[TJ in Oregon]

I would like to object to the inclusion of Spamage seeing as we've had a personal feud for some time and the fact that he started the anti-Just Government group "Solidarity with Simfan."

I have spoken to Spamage and he's not going to serve either.

That brings us to lottery no. 6, which is Gully Foyle.

FTR: I will continue to use the old census list if it changes during the jury selection process.

[TJ in Oregon]

With no reply from Antonio or Computer09, I'm moving on to the next couple numbers, which are sbane and potus.

[Barnes]

I have actually moved my registration to the Mideast, however the Census rolls have not been updated to reflect that.

[TJ in Oregon]

I have actually moved my registration to the Mideast, however the Census rolls have not been updated to reflect that.

Ahh, in that case, we'll need to move on to No. 17 (Wulfric). Hopefully we can find someone who can serve

[TJ in Oregon]

Due to the deregistration of Turk, only Ebowed can be listed as a defendant in this case. Should Turk return at a later time, charges may be brought forward again.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I object to Wulfric, your honour, as I do not believe that he has the mental capacity to serve on a jury.

[Bacon King]

I object to Wulfric, your honour, as I do not believe that he has the mental capacity to serve on a jury.

The defense concurs

[TJ in Oregon]

In the interests of a fair trial above scrutiny I will grant it. That moves us to No. 15, which is Superique.

[Bacon King]

Due to the deregistration of Turk, only Ebowed can be listed as a defendant in this case. Should Turk return at a later time, charges may be brought forward again.

I just saw this- I do not believe this is the case. The constitution clearly states Turk will be found innocent if his trial doesn't start within a month for any reason. Deregistration is a reason

[Bacon King]

Furthermore I object to Gully Foyle, who once called me a racist

Overrulled. Objections must at least pretend to be substantiative.

[Oakvale]

The issue of someone deregistering in the middle of a trial is a tricky one, but the assumption I've been working on since Vega deregistered in the middle of that kerfuffle a few months back is that when you "cease to exist" in Atlasian terms you're effectively in stasis, so if Turk returned the statute of limitations would not necessarily apply. It's a bit of a confusing situation.

[Türkisblau]

Sorry for causing any confusion. I have no interest in Atlasia anymore so I thought it would be easier to just do a clean break.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

This is hillarious.
