Excellent. Presuming that defense counsel does not object to this, we are now in the sentencing phase. I recognize that there is a partial recommendation included in the given plea, however the floor remains open for any elaboration as to why. I will set the time available for submitting any...

Before we move to sentencing & the arguments with it, I would ask which one of the gross misconduct charges is intended to be dropped - by my count there is one each for the citizenship oath and NPA oath.

I am going to consider the lack of response to be due to the Christmas holiday, but I would ask for a response of some kind here from the defense @Comfed, whether that’s to do with the plea or a need for more communication time with the defendant.

While the intention of the indicated post was to present options, the point is made. In consideration of both posts then I would ask Counsel that you do determine with the defendant that they understand what pleading guilty means - the questions of the prosecution are a sufficient basis there -...

@NorthArdenyan @Comfed In relation to that the Court recognizes two pleas: Not Guilty, in which you are indicating that you contest the basic facts/presented in the accepted indictment and wish to contest them. The trial will then continue on to evidence submission followed by argumentation...

Ah yes, I apparently can’t read today. Given that, I will set three days presumptively for plea submission, that should be sufficient. Further scheduling will be based on the plea of course.

Excellent, apologies. Am I to take from the request to move into plea submission that the defendant is pleading guilty then? I ask, due to the lack of explicit statement of such.

Sounds good, oops

Do tell

Actually posted it, would one of you mind putting it in the rulings thread so I don't have to figure out table code?

Ruling of the Court of The North Pacific In regards to the judicial inquiry filed by TlomzKrano "On the Need for Further Clarification on Restarting Voting Periods" Opinion drafted by Lord Dominator, joined by Eulvatar and Wymondham The Court took into consideration the inquiry filed here by...

While I am normally inclined to hold onto it, I wouldn’t mind someone else having a go - if for no other reason than the fresh perspective

The Court opines the following: On Standing The petitioner is the Court Examiner, and enjoys universal standing for all questions before this Court. The Prior Ruling The Court has been asked to review its old ruling “On the Need for Further Clarification on Restarting Voting Periods,” in light...

Spamming remains a crime with a very high bar and using too many emojis does not strike me as hitting that bar.

At present, @Lord Dominator has been appointed to serve as Moderating Justice, with @Vivanco serving as Temporary Hearing Officer. The defendant has been notified of such and of their options with defense counsel. Delegate @Kaschovia is asked to appoint a prosecutor. This post will be updated...

An indictment of @NorthArdenyan has been accepted on two counts of Gross Misconduct, from the following indictment:

A moderating justice has been determine, we’re just held up on the THO we also need - it has been actively worked on.

I do apologize, I completely missed the question. Assuming I haven’t completely spaced on everything and we still need one, I would suggest Lore.

The indictment has been considered: The charge of spamming is rejected, as the statute for the same has “make it unusable” as a qualifier and the complainant has not alleged that degree of harm. The charge of Gross Misconduct is accepted. The charges of Fraud are rejected at this time, as the...

Denied for lack of standing and lack of clarity on what the request for review is asking about.

I would agree as well

I do believe it is deliberation time then

As 5 days have elapsed by my count, the time for submission of briefs will now be considered closed and the Court will now deliberat.

This request for review is accepted and I will serve as moderating Justice. As it is a Court Ruling being questioned there are not inherently any directly respondent parts of the government, I would however suggest responses from members of the Election Commission beyond the general request for...

I’d be cool with being moderating justice

Sounds good

The above should be fine

I have no particular care who winds up with it

I, Lord Dominator, do hereby solemnly swear that during my term as Justice, I will uphold the ideals of Democracy, Freedom, and Justice of The Region of The North Pacific. I will use the powers and rights granted to me through The North Pacific Constitution and Legal Code in a legal...

Apologies, I missed the edit. In brief, prosecutorial discretion is I believe rather more of a RA matter. While it may be useful for the Court to define such things, I am rather of the opinion that the operation of prosecutors should be a RA matter - it certainly has been in every other...
