OBJECTION! The People do not see what relevant information Googliegod could provide to this case, the People will withdraw their objection if the Defendant could beforehand elaborate for the court what purpose he has in calling Googliegod as a witness.

[Snowflake]

Sustained. Counsel Jamski must elaborate his purpose of calling Gooliegod as a witness.

[Snowflake]

Looks like that Counsel Jamski is not able to present a convincing argument. The court therefore moves to the next step, closing argument. The court will adjurn in 19 metric hours.

[Snowflake]

The court is now adjurned.

[Jamski]

Dammit, my god didn't come when I called So much for the Deus ex Machina ending, eh?

The Supreme People's Court of the Human Hive
In the matter of People of the Human Hive vs. the Jamski Counter-Revolutionary Movement
Case No. 2145-0001

Report and Order

I. History of the case

On Nov 19, 2145, the Central Continuing Committee of the Human Hives ordered that “the Supreme People’s Court take on the matter of investigating and ruling on the matter of the coup”.

The Central Continuing Committee accuses Deputy Chairman Jamski of counter-revolutionary activity.

Upon receiving the court notice, comrade Jamski stated that he would represent himself and later plead not guilty.

Based upon principle of “not guilty until proved” the court has offered the defendant due process. The prosecution and the defendant each had opening statement and opportunities of questioning of the witness. The witness also received questions from the bench. Both sides waived closing statement.

The court was closed on Nov 25, 2145.

II. Discussions

The prosecution stated that comrade Jamski had violated the Constitution and Laws by attempting to overthrow the legitimate government.

Comrade Citizen Jamski has been charged with sabotage of the socialist system (Article 1, Section 2, Constitution of the People of the Human Hive), violation of the Constitution and Laws of the People of the Human Hive (Article 4, Section 3 and 4, ibid.), violation of the Constitution and Laws of the People of the Human Hive while entrusted with public office and the maintenance of the Constitution of the People of the Human Hive (Article 4, Section 3 and 4, ibid.), high treason against the State of the People of the Human Hive via attempted overthrow of the legitimate government of the People, high treason against the People of the Human Hive for attempted overthrow of the State of the People of the Human Hive while entrusted with power by the People, betray of the sacrosanct trust of the People in their government, actions resulting in harm to the People of the Human Hive during the attempted coup, contravening government orders, et al.

The defendant argued that Comrade Jamski was not guilty because he was simply “fill[ing] in for the Chairman while he was away” and “defend[ing] the people from the dictaorship of the military”.

The defendant has successfully established evidence that the Chairman had not been active during the period of the aforementioned “coup”. However, the court finds that the defendant was not simply carrying out the duty of the deputy chairman to fill in for the Chairman.

All conduct of Hive business and contol of the millitary is now my responsibility!

Please vote for or against so I know who is a dissenter and should be shot.

Thankyou.

The court doesn’t believe that the job responsibility of the deputy chairman constitutes actions of deposing the chairman and sentencing him to prison. The above quotations from the defendant clearly showed that the defendant was not simply carrying out the duty of the deputy chairman. The court finds that the defendant’s argument is invalid.

The defendant further claimed that he could not be responsible for overthrowing the government because he “was the government”. The court finds this statement shows nothing but the swelling of the defendant’s egoism.

During the trial the defendant admitted that he had attempted a coup although it was not “planned”. He also admitted that during the coup he had skimmed Kody’s post and posted a worse turn than the Kody turn. However, the defendant maintains that he was not doing that for his own interest and that the result of his actions had “awak[en] the Hive from its slumbers”, therefore his actions are “the correct behavior”.

The court concludes that the defendant had good intentions but chosen the wrong path. Had he recognized what he did was wrong, the court would be considering the minimum penalty. However, the defendant had not shown any remorse. In fact the defendant had already been planning another coup.

[Jamski]

I appeal to the GooglieGod court. I strongly object to almost everything in that closing statement on the grounds of bias, falsehood and toadying to the current government.

I notice the suspended sentence with amusement. It seems there's a deadline till my next coup...

[Snowflake]

That was the report and order of the court dear Comrade Jamski. That was not a closing statement.

[Jamski]

Bleh.

So I'm, exiled from tomorrow. Great Bye
