Attn Justices: Atlasia vs. Keystone Phil

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I think this is what I need to do to become a juror:
I swear (or affirm) that I will well and truly try the matter in issue between the parties, and give a true verdict according to the law and evidence, so help me Dave.

"I swear (or affirm) that I will well and truly try the matter in issue between the parties, and give a true verdict according to the law and evidence, so help me Dave."

Copied and pasted with my hand, if not upon a Bible, on that which is most important to me.

[Hash]

Using a good old fashioned d12 from my days playing D&D, I have selected the following jurors from the jury pool.

benconstine (Warner for Senate '08)
downwithdaleft (24 DuPont Chevy)
Inks.LWC
Joe Republic
opebo
Realpolitik (Al)

Mr. Ernest, may I note that Mr. Downwithdaleft is currently inactive in Atlasia?

Mr. Ernest, may I note that Mr. Downwithdaleft is currently inactive in Atlasia?

In order to provided a balance between having a larger jury pool and not including inactives, this pool consists of those Mideast citizens who voted in either of the two prior elections. 

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

I shall give consideration to replacing Mr. Downwithdaleft (and other jurors) on the jury if he does not make an appearance by Monday.  Also if there fails to be a good cause for such failure, jurors failing to show may be held in contempt of court.

(I sincerely hope that my innate prejudice against Italian-Americans, Republicans and Pennsylvanians, as well as my core belief that all trial defendants are automatically guilty, doesn't interfere with the fair conduct of this case.)

Your Honor,

After reading this statement, I ask the court to expell the juror and have him executed.

Sorry this is so late - Central Michigan lost power from 9 P>M. yesterday until a half and hour ago.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

There will be no executions. As for the rest, I ask juror Joe to state for the record whether his statements concerning the defendant's guilt were serious or intended as a misplaced jest.

Calm down, I'm sure he was only joking.

You need to go, too. To the chair with you!

The defendant will cease suggesting execution (or even worse, that jurors assemble IKEA products since that would be an even worse chair to sentence one to) or counsel will be assigned to you.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

So, I skimmed over the thread, but I had a lot of catching up to do today (on and off this site) - are we ready to start?

Fixed.

A jest, indeed?  A jest indeed.  'Twas naught but a whimsical badinage of mediocre caliber, Your Majesty.  But I daresay it was nary misplaced, for 'twere left right in the place in which it were intended, sir.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

When will the trial start?

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

When will the trial start?

As soon as the jury is fully impaneled.  If our missing juror has not sworn by the time I check in Monday, then he'll be replaced and we should be able to proceed once the replacement has been sworn.

Who's missing?

As downwithdaleft has visited the forum since I sent out the jury notice and has not responded to either my PM or to this thread, I find him in contempt of court and order that his voting privileges be suspended until he posts in this thread or this trial is over.

However, this trial must proceed, and accordingly I have randomly selected another juror from the pool.  The lucky citizen who gets to participate in this jury's august deliberations is:
     Peter.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

You may be seated.  As the jury has now been seated and sworn, you may now proceed to present your case Attorney General Hashemite.

You won't be deliberating until august!?

That would be a Capital idea, but the jury is expected to begin deliberating as soon as the defense rests, so I hope their august deliberations will not have to wait until August.

I'm thirsty.  Can we take a coffee break?
