    Judges don't throw anybody in jail, you silly. And if you are charged with contempt of court, your trial would not even be with the same judge whose court you were in contempt of.

    There, the obvious choice, Raistlin, has no knowledge of the legal system, so now there will be a public outcry if he is chosen. Proto is dismayed, as now he has to choose someone unpredictable. WHAT WILL HE DO?

    We're not talking about defendents being held in contempt. And yes, people held in contempt of court can (and often are) put in jail. Unless your freaky British legal system is totally whacked out.

    Every good jury needs attractive eye candy.

    Defendants, grammar boy.

    Contempt of court is an offence. What happens in between someone committing an offence and them being thrown in jail? They go on trial. This makes them a defendant. Of course they're put in jail. The judge doesn't throw them in there though. The police officers in attendance do that. :strut:

    We should choose the judge how judges are really chosen, ie we get the Queen to choose. Now, I don't mean to brag, but my personal relationship with Her Majesty (I met her once!) means I am head and shoulders above you riff-raff.

    You bastard and your semantics. Okay, the judge tells the police officers to throw him in jail.

    And since Proto and Jebus are both (I think) American, we should go with someone who knows the much more sane, much better American legal system.

    Too bad our system is based on the English legal system...
    Of course, ours is obviously much better.

    It's fortunate that I studied both legal systems in what us quaint folk from over-the-pond call "college" then, isn't it?

    We call it "college" too, you know. I guess someone didn't pass the English 101 course.

    British college is from 16-18, instead of the last 2 years of high school that we take. Then they go to Uni which is our college. British college is more of specific studies, like University/American College, except it's not University.

    I think you're all missing the most important point, which is that I chose the caviar lunch box.
