Your honor, are we going to have to wait forever for the prosecution to get their act together. May I remind you the post that started this all?
I think BNM, Deg, D_Average, Maxi, Lindy, Pale, Mr. Jack (or formerly known as), Ian, Stogi, Easycure, Zap, Khush, DrewMG should face me because I think they should all have the ban hammer!
Please note the bolded text. These defendents are ready and raring to face their accuser. However, she is suddenly nowhere to be found. Well actually, that's not true. She can easily be found posting in pretty much any other thread but this one. She seems completely unwilling to have to back up her strong words. How unwilling? My I point out the prosecution's past comments:
I'm not GoldenPhoenix's lawyer, I think she's representing herself.
Well, wait just a minute. If you are not her lawyer, then why do we have this third party suddenly involved in the trial and acting like the prosecution? Why should she even be making comments on the trial? Where is GP, the one who wanted the defendents to face her? The defendents are more than happy to face her. GP, however, seems disinterested in facing them.
If not, then I guess I may have to do it myself...
Well, now we understand Mop_it_up's role. She's just doing her best to help a friend and stick up for her. I think that reflects pretty darn well on her character. So, I will not focus any attack or arguements against Mop_it_up. She's performing a noble task. And how is GP responding to this fine act of loyalty?
I'm just stalling until she gets here, as I was hoping she'd pull up some examples for her claims.
Wow. She's just left her friend holding the bag and appearantly has not done anything to aid her friend in defending her. I think this right here says much in our trial already about the trustworthiness of GP's character and her claims. I'd like to take a moment to address my esteemed colleague on the prosecution's side, Mop_it_up.
I have much respect for you. Your willingness to stand on the opposing side with GP and without question to fight along in her defence is a worthy stance and one I would hope all of my friends would take if ever I were questioned on a matter. Loyalty is the biggest key in any friendship. But I would also never leave the burden of my troubles on any of my friends. I would face the brunt of any fire that comes my way and take the heat coming my way. I'd just ask for their support as I take such a stand. I wouldn't want to see them get burnt. My point is this, you've proven you are a dependable and true friend by coming to GP's aid. But that doesnt' mean you have to fight her battles. It will not reflect poorly on you to walk away from this and let it go. We've all seen your actions on her behalf and I've made sure that they are duly noted. But GP needs to do something to help you out now and back you up.
With that matter addressed, you honor, I'd now like to make a motion that these charges brought upon the defendents be tossed out of court and the defendents found innocent of them. As we can see, the prosecution seems to have no real idea how to proceed with their star witness vanishing and no evidence on hand to back up their claims. Although I would like to ask for the prosecution's support on this motion, I do not expect and do not rely on it and would still motion for this dismissal without it. I see no reason for our court system to be clogged up with baseless charges brought about by citizens unwilling to testify on them. We can not expect to continue waiting indefinitely for witnesses and evidence to appear. You either have a case or you don't. From what we've seen already, the prosecution doesn't seem to have a case. Thus, I defer this motion to you, you honor, and await your ruling on the matter.
