Can someone confirm I'm free to talk on that issue now?
The trial is ended?
Yes, you were just invited here to act as an extra on the set.
After the illusion was created that the court was actually going to assemble a real jury, your services were no longer needed. Judgie-wudgie had the final act written since before the show even began.
Why didn't you ever ask for somebody to be appointed to continue the trial, as Marokai suggested? (Yes, I know this question will go unanswered by Libertas, but I figured I should at least try...)
