a speedy trial can be done on the forum as well, and reduce clutter as opposed to IRC trials.
With all due respect, it cannot. The continued bickering over trial setting is proof of this.
Denying my councel the right to represent me would show bias against the defence.
I fail to see this. In RL, if a council does not make it to the trial along with the defendant, then either that council is replaced (especially if that council is court appointed in the first place) or the trial is postponed. So far, the Court has been postponing the trial indefinately, and while there are not as yet serious discussions among the Justices as to appointing a defense team for you, the thought has been circling my brain for some days now.
I have made it emphatically clear here, in case people can't realise, what happened to my past councel and why Prag and OT had to drop. I didn't force them to do anything. I also explained how I have been through most of Oct. without internet access at home for valid reasons.
If you spent October without internet access at home, you wouldn't have been able to access the forum from home either. This is not an argument in favor of a forum trial; this is an argument to prove that you need council. And you do. Whether or not you need these
specific council, Templarios and Osmafune, is the issue in dispute. I believe, and from the looks of things, the other Justices agree, that you can be just as well-represented by others.
There is nothing wrong with a forum trial, unless someone is afraid of public transparency, or a fair trial, or something else.....
I know it's my job to read and to know the Constitution, but really, if you're going to make a Constitutional argument, please know what it says and how the Court has interpreted what it says in the past. The Court has said that the clause mandating disclosure of trial transcripts applies only when the trial is complete, and does not say that the court proceedings must be open to the public as they occur.
