Isn't the point of the jury that it's supposed to be unbiased?

Considering I was a witness(and a jury member)... I wouldn't say so. ;P

My client has done nothing wrong and will not be facing another courtcase!

If he did nothing wrong then why is he considered guilty? And Rosella has consented to take 'your' client as her client for free.

He's done nothing wrong in relation to the Q case. I have consented to take Raf as my client for free (considering I represented myself and won, while Jason represented him and lost, :P) however, if Raf would like to stay with Jason, should a case ever present itself, I can't force him to do anything. And until this trial is officially concluded, Raf is still Jason's client.

He can't have done anything wrong in relation to Q's case since it hasn't started yet.  In general he has lost the trial (Rosella v. Raf), and after sentancing him the case can start. How high is bail, anyway?

The President of the Court has never left closed chambers, at least not by the door leading to the Court room. By the door leading to the restrooms on the other hand... ;-D
However, as stated before, there's still Court personel at hand so you needn't get those solvents, we have a closet full of different types ourselves.

Quote from: Deloria on September 14, 2005, 02:42:42 PMCan I even hand-pick Jury members for this case?

Quote from: Deloria on September 14, 2005, 02:51:22 PMIn some special cases one can, but I think the court makes sure they are neutral beforehand.
The President of the Court picks the president of the Jury, which then picks the jury members. If The Court, the prosecutor or the defendant objects to any member the president of the Jury picked, it must be replaced. Neither the Court, the prosecutor, nor the defendant can pick (normal) jury members. :scholar:

If your client is charged with a felony he has no choice but to face another trial, or the trial will be over switfly, and with only one possible outcome: GUILTY. Who he will be represented by in that case, is entirely up to him.

I have a reason, I have trouble protecting someone who is guilty. In this case I would help my client win because he has done nothing wrong in anyway to endanger Q or Q's species XD

No one ever answered my question, How high is bail? (just out of interest)

*takes a deep breath*
Ok, this whole trial is a civil case. There is no bail AT ALL in a civil case. And even if this had been a criminal case, bail would be set at the beginning, to keep him out of a holding cell, and yet make him show up for trial. After sentencing, it's not as if you could pay to get someone out of jail. :P In this case, I filed my complaint (sorta :P) and we had a trial. The jury (which is sometimes a part of civil cases,) decided on a verdict. And now, the court has to decide on the sentence (usually a fine of some sort.) Raf wouldn't be sent to jail for a civil case, so he actually spends NO time in jail before, or after the trial. :scholar:

You were found guilty since you went AFF without warning and sentenced to death. :)

(j/k XD, but the part about you being found guilty is true :P)

It has not been decided yet that it is you who will be representing Raf in that case. And since Rosella's track record is better than yours... ::)

Is a 'Jarada Knight' realated to Star Wars? CC, if you're back the jury must have reached a verdict. I never understood anything about bail anyway, thanks for clearing it up.

Yup and one could just copy the answers word for word from previous pages, and Rosella would win again, and Racx would be sentanced to the same thing Jafar is being sentanced to (which is WHAT?)
