Trial of the Saiser

[jethro]

We ask the position of Prosecution. If you wish to enforce the reign and international influence of apparently one organization, the so-called Axis, then we shall not participate in this set up, as we shall describe it.

Then George, of course you can have Prosecution. I would be delighted to have you ripping the Saiserist League to shreds with clever comments and insightful interrogation. I am not a fan of the Axis nor am going out of my way to back them up, jumping all over the two of you simply because you are both GPO (something I wasn't even aware of until they brought it up) was rather petty and vindictive. I am merely pointing out that, in the interest of fairness, it would not be quite right to let any one organization hold both posts. This is not a set-up, I just felt that the old NWO chapter of history finally needed some closure and for Terran Enemy Number 1 to finally have to stand up to international justice, and I have no intention of being any fairer or more deferential to the Axis than I am to you.

[Opakidabar]

Ok, then as alliance member I back up ( - Legal Business People have the best lawiers in the world, however mostly specialized in corruption and contraband trials in Egelion )
But I must tell you - prosecution will not be so simple as it seems.
60 years passed, documents/archives partially burned, witnesses very old/at bad health, international legislation and code of laws inexistant at times of crime (...and today as well).

[GreekIdiot]

Very well then. We shall send Malekas Aristocrat for Prosecution. Fine lawyer we have to say, the best in Kalopia. Son of Pornidious Aristocrat, the founder of the GPO.

OOC: You might want to know that I am the founder of the GPO and the current world of particracy has a problem with dividing the camps between the GPO and NATO. No enemy has emerged, though, yet and therefore no action has taken place since the creation of the GPO, quite a few damned years as I remember. Although if Opakidabar, the closest associate of the whole GPO idea, could remember the exact foundation date then that would be great.

edit; if Opakidabar wants to represent the GPO in Prosecution, then I have no problem.

[Mr.Yankees]

The gentleman from the GPO has asked to be Prosecutor time and time again. In fairness to him, we should allow him to be the prosecutor. This is the opportunity for him to show what the GPO stands for.

The Defense does not necessarily have to agree with the policies of the Saiserist. A good Defense attorney will find the best way for his/her client to get the lowest penalty possible, if any at all. Anyone wishing to act as the Defense must keep this in mind.

International proceedings usually take months, so I ask everyone to be patient and most importantly, be organized. Speak when it's your turn to testify and do not interrupt others. Such action only delays the proceedings and will get you thrown out. While opinions may be offered if asked, please refrain from doing so. It is unfair for the defendant(s) to argue against opinions. Please present only facts. The prosecution and defense will both be able to ask questions to the witness in the stand. The witness must answer the questions presented by the attorneys only. The prosecutor and defense will both get time at the beginning of the trial to present their opening arguments, evidence, and any other pertinent information.

I encourage the cooperation between the prosecution, the defense, and those holding evidence, including the witnesses.

Sincerely,

Roland Lincoln
Vice President of the United Republics of Lodamun
Chairman of the Council of NATO

ooc:
GPO official foundation date: September 2689 (that is what org page says )

On prosecution - to make it absolutely emotional, attention grabbing and (yes, that is needed in games like this) personal the prosecutor should be from either Aloria or any other suffered nation.
On the other hand in trials like this teams of prosecutors/defendors are usually created (or that is my sick impression), so, many prosecutors are possible.

No George I have no time for prosecution It would take ages for me to go through all those old NWO related posts to create the base for charges. I am more like guy who likes challenge and do things that seem impossible, like defending Saiser

[jethro]

Mr. Lincoln put it perfectly. We just need someone willing to serve as Defense, and then proceedings can begin.

[GreekIdiot]

OOC: Well, it seems prosecution has been given to us, according to jethro's statements, so heading defense is off for us. Though I don't see what do the Legal Business People have anything to do with the GPO. Simply because you are Op and ally of the GPO? Dunno, but anyway, there should be a settlement right now.

If the Prosecution is given to my hands, I shall make it very dramatic and shall dedicate time to searching evidence and the like. It will be hard, but it also will be interesting. But you guys have to wait until the weekend if you want really active participation from me.

OOC: That is correct. Prosecutors usually work in teams to ease the load of info they present. That's the reason I said the prosecutor should cooperate with those holding evidence. There can be more than one evidence gatherer but only one prosecutor. Namely, the chief prosecutor. Same goes with the defense.

[GreekIdiot]

Well, if there are volunteers from the GPO that would like to assist the Chief Prosecutor, Malekas Aristocrat, in his search of evidence then that would be very liberating and hopeful. But I have no problem doing things on my own.

[Captain-Socialist]

I might serve as defence, but in a character unrelated to National Bolshevik revisionism and even my current Party.
