Justice Severisen, this request, while related to Tomb's trial, is in regards to Court rules and procedure and if that procedure has violated the Bill of Rights. At no point have I ever stated that I am appealing or challenging the Court's verdict in Tomb's trial. I know that I do not need to...

I think Flem is upset that people are calling the Kangaroo Court that Tomb stood before out for what it was, a ridiculous show trial that was as much of a witch hunt as it was a sham. Flem, of course, would very much like to see Tomb publicly shamed and punished, justice be damned. I would...

Oh, so the Defense Team can lose a case on Tomb's behalf but not appeal on his behalf? Isn't that pretty hypocritical? Flem, while it is true a verdict has been reached, a sentence has not. This means the trial is still on and the Defense Team very much intact, and with the trial ongoing and...

So if you admit the trial was mismanaged, and you've decided to take "full responsibility" for your self-admitted mismanagement, then why did you proceed with a verdict, why are you proceeding with the sentencing, and why has the case not been declared a mistrial? Are you just saying these...

Since the trial is now all but over, what were the redacted questions and answers? This doesn't seem to be a case based upon spies and secret evidence (like the failed Treason case against me was, years ago) so I am interested to know what was so scandalous that it was censored by the Court. On...

And the Court still ruled without hearing a word from the Defense speaking on behalf, and in defense, of their client. That is the Court's fault. They chose to allow for only one side to present its case. They chose to allow a one sided argument to occur and then chose to rule on the case after...

Regardless, the Defendant is still entitled to a Defense. Tomb's Defense team effectively abandoned him mid-trial, either by never showing up (Mal and Bel) or by literally quitting and walking out on the trial itself (Roman). This left Tomb without legal representation. At that point, a new...

I assure you, you have not.

It's not the Court's responsibility to ensure the Defendant gets a fair trial? Since when?

Well, in this case I am asking the Court, a government entity, to review it's ad hoc policy of allowing a trial to proceed with an absent, or non-existent, Defense or Defense Team.

Regarding Tomb's recent trial on the charges of Gross Misconduct it has been observed that Tomb's defense was completely absent from the case itself. Of the entire team, only Roman ever posted and only twice, once to ask a question about Courtroom procedure and the other to thank the Court for...

Or the Court could just appoint a Defense for them. In cases where the Defendant doesn't show, how would the Court proceed then? As I mentioned before, per TNP law, if a Defendant doesn't plead, a plea of "Not Guilty" is automatically submitted for them. And if the Defendant never shows up to...

Tomb was last active on these forums 6 Jun 2015. At the start of the trial he was out of his home country on some sort of religious mission to Honduras. The verdict was read on the 11th. It is very reasonable to assume that Tomb doesn't even know he was convicted and that it is possible he's...

Regardless of "what could have happened", what did happen was that Tomb was undefended and your arguments, as Prosecutor, were 100% unchallenged. You could have claimed that Tomb was plotting to overthrow China and no one would have stopped you. Also relevant now, because Ivan could ask for...

Agreed. The Defense team literally didn't show up for the trial. A guilty verdict was almost assured. Tomb did not have one single word spoken in his defense throughout the entire trial. If I were the Court, I would have appointed a new Defender independently of Tomb's team just so Tomb could...

I guess I'm never getting that list. Makes it sort of impossible for me to do what the Admin Team is asking of me when I don't know what they're asking for or how to do it. <_<

Eh, Tomb served as delegate with honor and grace. This trial is nothing more than a witch hunt to assign blame for something trivial and minor. He made a political mistake, rather than a knowing legal offense.

Still awaiting a list of measurable and achievable goals for reducing my warning level from the Admin Team, and not just Punk's statement of "be more conciliatory", whatever the hell that's suppose to mean.

Well, this does raise an interesting question. If we are going to break off relations with the NPO, as we've already done, are we now going to start supporting resistance groups against them?

I didn't know I needed to ask every time I needed a remasking. This has certainly not been the case before when I was Delegate, or Vice-Delegate, or Justice, or Security Council, or several other Cabinet positions. In those cases, I just had to post my oath. Is this a new policy?

So I was appointed Deputy Minister of Defense and took my oath like a while ago. Sorta wondering why I'm still not masked.

Being "conciliatory" is not a measurable goal. I see the Admin team saying I need to change my behavior, but refusing to say what that behavior is. It sort of seems like the Admin Team either isn't in complete agreement, or doesn't know what specifically they're annoyed at me for, only that...

I would say that a 20% warning level for almost three years from the same offense is probably an additional punishment. Clearly if it wasn't, the Admin team wouldn't be debating lowering it, as it would have already been lowered as it wouldn't have any negative effect. But I am interested to...

In that case I ask for the Admin team for a list of measurable goals I should reach in order to lower my warning level. I can't very well appease the Admins when they have not told me what they specifically want. Or even what I'm being further punished for.

I am confused as to what remorse I am suppose to feel. I'm still not sure for what, specifically, I was even warned for in the first place, so it's a little hard for me to feel sorry, given that I don't know what I should feel sorry for. I'm not even sure how I could repeat the actions which...

As a former old DENer myself, I must say this isn't true and the suggestion of it happening is flat out retarded. Old DEN made one serious attempt at taking a feeder, The South Pacific, and that was through an election. I believe most of us are similar with Southern Bellz and how that didn't...

Now? What do you mean "now"? :P

I, Blue Wolf II, do hereby solemnly affirm that during my term as Deputy Minister of Defense, 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...
