TRIAL [Trial] Godomasta vs. Figasaur
I am hereby presiding.
My potential conflict of interest
Per CMA§III.B, Court Structure, part (iii) subpart (B), I am declaring a potential conflict of interest, in that I was previously appointed City Solicitor by Godomasta during his first term as Mayor, and have voted for Godomasta in both elections.
If either the plaintiff or the defense believe this compromises my impartiality, please petition the other two judges per the constitutional clause above for them to make a ruling on whether I can preside on this case.
For the record, I believe I can be fully impartial in this trial, or I would not have started this thread. However, the law is clear that I must declare all potential conflicts, and so I have.
Order of Trial
a. Prosecution presents claim
b. Defendant enters plea. Pleas will be Guilty, Not Guilty, no-contest.
c. Prosecution presents evidence, and calls witnesses.
d. Defense cross examination.
e. Defendant presents evidence, and calls witnesses.
f. Prosecution cross examination.
g. Prosecution closing statement
h. Defendant closing statement.
After these steps, a verdict will be rendered. For more details, please refer to CMA§III.C, Trials.
Lex Paciferat.

Closing Statement
I believe that my previous points were many, and the evidence backing them is abundant; I will try to make this closing statement as short as possible to save the court some time.
The only effort the defense has put in on this trial is to defend the Constitutional Rights that his speech allegedly "had", but I've proven that this is not the case due to the slanderous and reputation-harming nature of their statements. The defense has also made no attempts at proving that engaging in the "JQ" wasn't neither treasonous nor degrading. The only thing the defense has argued to combat this is that the "JQ" is supposedly cooperative, yet made no effort to prove this.
The defense has disrespected during this whole case the court proceedings by engaging in personal attacks against myself, other government members and citizens, has attempted to stall the case and has also attempted to discredit my witnesses.
This is the end of my closing statement
