Did you know that "do you plead guilty to the charges?" was once an unlikely question to be answered?

Until the 18th century, common #law had a clause in which a person charged with a capital #offence would be subjected to torture if they did not plead either #guilty or not.

Many defendants refused to plead despite this prospect, because if they did, their heirs would not inherit their property!

#Torture by crushing was used to either elicit a plead or #death.

Afterward, the Counsel of True Citizens issued a document entitled “Invitation”. A party at the square, some interpreted it to be, not being inclined to read every word on any page. A trick, the skeptical mumbled quietly to select company, just in case. A great chaos ensued during the days leading to the gathering. Persons compared the importance of the event to a dawn of something wonderful. Or the end of an awful. The #guilty arrived in their finery, unable to pass on free publicity.🪶

“I’m not #guilty of silencing Mia,” said Tom.
“Hopefully she’s been talking to her midwife,” said Jin.

Everything that Trump does, that Musk does, that the crackpots, fools and delusional rapist criminal jackasses put in charge of whatever does, is the fault of the Republican Party as a whole.

#Guilty of treason. Guilty of organized crime. Guilty of human rights abuse. Guilty of causing suffering and death from lack of medical care, food, clean air, clean water. Guilty of providing aid and comfort to enemies of democracy.

#GOP is Guilty.

#Petersburgh town #judge resigns amid #misconduct allegations

#RichardSnyder got out of #juryduty in 2023 by claiming that he couldn’t be impartial because he thought everyone brought before a #court is #guilty.

Snyder acknowledged that #defendants are supposed to be considered #innocent until proven guilty but stated that he still felt that people wouldn’t be in court if they didn’t commit #crimes.
