Although I still do not totally buy his story (why would his roommate register as a 14-year-old?), no fraud was really done, and I think that he is unlikely to reoffend if he did offend.

I hope that there will be no prosecution. I feel his feelings in this situation are genuine and this embarassment punishment enough.

While I agree that he shouldn't be punished, I think it to be my duty to prosecute, if only for ceremonial purposes.  I won't seek a big penalty, but we could at least get the procedure down if we ever do have to have a real trial for a really big case...we don't want to have to wing it when it really matters.  So I am going to prosecute this case, but mostly as a test run to go through the motions.

As a request for the Attorney General and also for the Justices of the SC, I would ask that this case's date be moved to Sunday, February 27 or later. 

My reason is that I will be out of town from today (already out of town!) and will not return back to town until late Saturday, February 26.

During this time I will be using someone else's (or a library computer) to reach this site and will not have any evidence on hand (or my computer) that the Attorney General might request from me.

Thanks very much in advance.

well, we could select the jury in that time.

Hmmm, have we ever had a jury trial before? Would the entire Supreme Court be involved, or would only one justice be necessary(since the jury makes the decision)?

Or, perhaps the Senate should make a lower court to settle jury trials.

Only one justice would be needed, course.
