Attn Justices: Atlasia v. Xahar

[bullmoose88]

Atlasia shall have no more than 48 hours to publish the formal charge/complaint (ie, what law is the defendant being charged under, the specific claimed facts of the charge [who/what is the dual account etc]).

The defendant will then enter his plea.  The court recommends that he find counsel rather than defending himself.

How does the Defendant Plea?

[bullmoose88]

The Nolo Contendre plea is not currently recognized (and feel free to correct me) under Atlasian law (statute), nor does it appear in regional law (as persuasive authority for this court).  Neither does it appear in our common law.

In American jurisprudence a nolo contendre plea has the same immediate effect as a guilty plea, even though it is not technically a guilty plea.  It usually accompanies some sort of plea bargain with the State.

This court is willing to enter the no contest plea and treat it like a guilty plea for the purposes of adjudication and sentencing.  The court warns the defendant that it may limit his right to appeal.

With this in mind does the defendant wish for the court to enter the plea?

[bullmoose88]

Wait. Where's this plea you're talking about? Did Xahar delete it himself, or was Ogis acting as his lawyer or what?

I should have quoted it (damn for not expecting the unexpected).  Xahar pleaded Nolo Contendre in between my two posts.  While deleting a post like that frankly ticks me off, at least we werent in a stage beyond the official pleading.

I'll repeat this again for Xahar, how do you plea?

[bullmoose88]

The Court now asks the prosecution what sentence it would like the court to impose, and for the prosecution to inform the court what sentencing options are avaliable to it under the statute, general atlasian law, or under common law.

[bullmoose88]

I didn't delete it!

Guilty.

(for the record)

[bullmoose88]

Does the defendant have anything to say before I impose sentence?

[bullmoose88]

The court will now impose sentence.  The court can do no more than echo the words of the attorney general.  Therefore it will accept the AG's recommendation and impose the following sentence upon Xahar, the defendant:

a.) hacking the account: 3 month voting ban, one year ban from holding office
b.) impersonating the victim: 3 month voting ban, one year ban from holding office.

These two sentences, upon the AG's suggestion, will run simulataneously.

So ordered.
