There for, I am inocent until puroven guilty.
Further, The juse does not make the decision of guilt. That is the responciblity of the jury. So far we have only had the vote of 3 of the members of the jury and as such it does not constsitute a conviction.
I shall remain a free Man untill the final verdict is in.
The defendant will put a sock in it whilst the court is in session. It should be pointed out to the defendant that as the court has decreed that line dancing is now a crime against humanity, international public law applies and as the United States of America is party to, and has ratified, both the Hague Convention and the Lugano Treaty, international jurisprudence applies.
The weight of evidence against the defendant is also sufficient to indicate that he is guilty until proven innocent.
The defendant should also realise that as international law applies, there is no trial by jury. The judge will proclaim judgement once all expert testimonials have been received. The testimonial of Mr Mac of Quagmire, Ohio is useful evidence, but it should be added that his sanity is subject to separate court investigation so all evidence from him may be struck out.
