Yo. I am elected but considered to be part of the Judicial branch by most people, and was not a candidate, so I can do it.

I would advise Defense Counsel to actually read my indictment, which related the Treason charge to the October incident, rather than the Ravania incident. If there's a typo that makes that unclear, my apologies - I noted only one treason charge in the header, and discussed it pertaining to the...

I would also note that, even if the Court remains intractable, the Chief Justice has failed to name a Moderating Justice for this proceeding, as is required by this Court's rules.

Apologies for the double-post, but I have examined the legal code and am unable to find any indication that you possess the authority to forcibly recuse a Justice, PunkD. Not in tehe Constitution, Bill of Rights, Legal Code, or this Court's own rules. Recusals must be voluntary on the part of...

I'm curious why so uninvolved a party (I noted his need as a witness because I could easily see the Defense having such a need) as BW is being forcibly excluded, while a former high-rankign member of the organization whose member is here on trial is being permitted to continue on this case. I...

If the Court expresses an issue with the specific terminology utilized in a contextual statement, I would be glad to correct it. I would ask that the Court direct all commentary unrelated to Court business to be conducted elsewhere, to preserve the clarity of this process.

That's my plan - this one is already so messy :P

I'm working on a new version, so...

As I said in COE's text message thread, I'm really not ok with it becoming even easier to completely tune out of TNP other than to show up and cast a vote. While RA membership does have incredibly low barriers, I would hope that as a body and as a region, we would expect a greater degree of...

Frankly I think if people can't be bothered to check the forums during our insanely long voting periods, that's their problem. You already do plenty as speaker to keep people in the loop - if that's not enough for them, that's a "them" problem. Participation requires effort - this would amount...

For that particular case, it ought to be, yes.

See my previous post and divorce analogy - sometimes prior contact, even if not specifically coinciding with the events in question, create a situation where there is great risk of the appearance of bias. I hope that the Chief Justice can recognize that not only is the technical letter of this...

I'll have to dig through logs to find Punkd's comments - I have a rather clear memory of statements which could be construed as prejudicial, having been made. I merely requested recusal in the interests of ensuring the objectivity of this Court. Hile, I asked you to recuse yourself because...

Request for Indictment Accused: Tim Complaining Party: Gaspo The Office of the Attorney General humbly requests that the Court issue an indictment charging Tim with the crime(s) of: Treason x 1, Espionage x 2, Conspiracy x 2, and Fraud x 1. Relevant Sections of Law Statement of Facts The...

My thoughts exactly. For what it's worth, the Office of the Attorney General has the utmost faith in Silly String's ability to impartially and intelligently carry out her duties.

No reason to be sorry - I did the losing :P

Malashaan needs masking as a deputy Attorney General. He has posted his oath.

I think they're all well and good so long as that's their purpose. So, have a nomination thread as another option in addition to self-declaring through creating your campaign thread. The problem now is that the process is drowned in procedure, bureaucracy, and pedantic "NO YOU MUST POST HERE"...

I am thankful I no longer have b) and am instead enjoying the freedom of not feeling compelled to have a b).

Malashaan will be joining the AG's Office as a Deputy, focusing on high-profile prosecutions.

Agreed. It's just theater, which is stupid. You want to run, sign on the dotted line. You don't want to run, don't sign. Much simpler. Hell, I'd go further - if you want to run, make a thread in the election subforum. It's really not that hard for the ECs to look at one subforum and say...

Now that I'm done being a) sick, and b) having a girlfriend, I have time for such things again. The AG's office will continue to address complaints in the order received, as is policy.

Will you recuse yourself from cases arising out of TSP's recent incident, due to your obvious personal bias?

Will you recuse yourself from cases arising out of TSP's recent incident, due to your obvious personal bias?

Sorry - I was probably drunk.

While I'm not barred from offering a suggestion, the fact that the Court rendered verdict and sentence simultaneously rather than separately meant I was given zero opportunity to do so. I didn't put it in my argument section because I did not wish to seem presumptive and risk prejudicing the...

Where to even begin. While necessary procedurally, the net impact of this law will be that, if a questionable action occurs within a trial, the Court will have to ask the AG to file charges and open a new trial against the alleged violator. This will necessitate halting the original trial, as...

While the prosecutino appreciates the Court's work on this subject, it vehemently protests the frankly pathetic sentence handed down by the Court in this matter. Defendant exhibited no sign of regret, remorse or apology, and made no attempt to take responsibility for his actions, yet has had no...

From a legal theory standpoint, the fact that a person fixed a wrong done by a criminal offence does not necessarily mean they are not still guilty. If, for example, I broke into your house and stole your TV, but then brought it back, I'd still be guilty of theft. It's the act, not the result...
