"Battle not with monsters lest you become one.” -Nietzsche

The swords have been thrusted. The arrows have been shot. I've just lost the pivotal battle in the struggle to save an innocent. It was a great mock trail for philosophy we just had,

"the best i've had in Malaysia"

according to Dr. Borges (what an honor =P)
But, yea, through all the heated battles it wasn't exactly the result we were looking for. Bummer.

In the end, Ronnie Reynolds was found guilty but at least the death penalty wasn't awarded. Instead, he was sentenced to 15 years of jail time. Which i guess is a battle with no losers (yea i know thats what a loser might say, but hey at least i aint no sore loser)
But just to make it clear, it wasn't a steamrolled case. Noone got routed. It was close. It was closer than wimbledon 2005 final where venus williams narrowly beat Lindsay Davenport in 3 tight sets.
It's was like Monica Seles Vs Steffi Graf matches where every point seemed like a pivotal moment. The jury were intially 10-9 in their decision and could have gone either way (but cuz of one simple minded idealist, he pushed over a few people thus condemming my client to a life of despair and injustice. Geez thanks)
So apparently this was the main reason why the jury said guilty since the idealist said that

"Well someone should be responsible for the death so lets just make him guilty then make him not serve the death penalty"

I'm not even going to start on the moral ramnifications of that.
I guess i should have appealed more to the simple mindedness of, dare i say it, M*****ians.(ohoh the g'vrnmnts going to start accusing me of sodomy)

Good moments of the trail: I got called an intellectual. And most people thought i was a good lawyer (all in fact. Gwaff Gwaff) and it appears i was right about how i was intimidating. Or aggressive at least...
cuz the prosecution side said i slaughtered them like helpless baby sheep with a blunt nailing file. What I did was I smothered them done with multiple carebear death hugs.
Rawr i'm a monster. It was also suggested later that I pursue a career in law. 
Thanks but no thanks, its just not my thing (sorry Gin Jhen) but you know it did feel mighty good defendind the innocent (he was innocent i tell you!)

Can i just say, that the prosecution lawyer (okie she isn't that bad; she is mean at times but she's alright...sometimes XP) took all our words and twisted them into her own means. Damn it! I guess i should have expected that but what sucks is that the jury bought that shit. Told you.
Well i could have fought dirty as well but i'm not going to stoop to that level just to win(maybe i should). But i guess I'm all about faireness and justice (in other words i'm a pansy)

I guess i'm off to tend to the wounds. In the meantime, i'll be plotting the demise of my next trail victim.
