Sorry your Honor.

Actually, it's the same system as in China. [YES, but it's only 1 soldier and it's a gunshot on the neck.]

If it is, in which conditions it happens?
In fact, this execution is the worst compared to lethal injection witch is also used. So you have to do a very horrible crime or tons of them to be executed by "firing squad". [How this isn't answered well?]

When were the firing squads adopted?
It was adopted since 1945.

We wish to reiterate the point that the Socialist Republic of Syldavia has been in violation of sections 2.21 and 2.31.1 of the constitution and has admitted to doing so themselves. It should not matter the circumstances in which SRS has violated union law because the fact of the matter is they have and must stop doing so to avoid further sanctions and punsihment from sovereign nations and indeed, this court.

Constiutional union law applies to all sovereign nations - and must be ratified on joining the union. Constitution union law states ''Execution may be done under the following terms...Lethal Injection [or] Death by any other term of non-torture'', whilst there may be a bit of confusion over which constitution applies, if SRS believes that the psycological effects on both the offender and the soldier with the sole responsibility of killing another human being with their blood literally on their hands (as well as their brains, tissue, bone fragments and such) are a form of non-torture then they must appeal for a single case through the judiciary or an outright amendment through the usual legislative channels.

We have taken from this quite unclear, but still on-the-record statement SRS is essentially telling the court that once an offender is convicted, they are no longer equal before the law and that judges have the power to choose whether an offender dies a tortous death or an equally injust, but less painful death by lethal injection. Maybe this barbaric, authoritarian system was suited to the politcal and international situation in 1945, but it has no place in 21st century society. Does the SRS believe that it is right for one person in the position of authority to deliberate upon how a fellow human being is to die?

I call for the defendant:
The Socialist Republic of Syldavia is now allowed to present its version of the facts. Once the last relevant facts are brought to the court by the defendant, the Jury will be allowed to send me their conclusions about case. [via PM]

Point of order - we haven't yet addressed the North Korean relationship.

Thank you Lord Justice Glenavon, it's what we meant.

They are equal before the law. The penalty of death by gunshot was not used since 1992 (when a paedophile who raped and killed 15 children had been found guilty). While the circumstances may affect a decision as the facts may also when they are subject to a case does not require the death penalty.

The referendum's results are here:
Do you agree with death penalty? If yes, what is the best method you think is appropriated?:

After the referendum's results, President Almaz announced that capital punishment in Syldavia is officially abolished.

The Regal Government of the Royal and Holy Kingdom of Cattala requests that the Government of the Socialist Republic of Syldavia confirms it's plea to the charge of violating the Alliance of Independent Nations - does it declare itself guilty or innocent of executing citizens through torturous methods?

by **Blakeway4** 9th December 2010, 22:00

We declare ourself guilty at that moment.

by **Thomas** 10th December 2010, 17:46

Thank you. The Prosecution wishes to request the issue of the SR of Syldavia's intelligence relationship with the People's Republic of Korea be raised now.

by **Daniel** 14th January 2011, 22:05

Can we get a move on with this? It's been a month and we're still waiting for Syldavia to explain their intelligence relationship with North Korea.

Never been asked.

Yes you have. Cheeky/Razz

The Prosecution requests the Judge restarts this case and moves questioning onto the issue of the SR of Syldavia's intelligence relationship with North Korea. This is the second request for this to begin.

by **Blakeway4** 16th January 2011, 17:02

My bad. Well it's because it doesn't clearly says: "We now invite Syldavia to explain their intelligence relationship with North Korea".

by **Thomas** 28th January 2011, 17:59

The Royal and Holy Kingdom of Cattala formally withdraws from the Prosecution due to reasons that will not be discussed in a public court.
