So his defense ultimately relied on the Socratic method?

Also, if there was a point where Praljak was still conscious but clearly past the point of no return from the poison I would have immediately pardoned him.

Some judges just don't have a sense of humour.

That would be great in a movie.

Yeah, it'd be like Romeo and Juliet, if Shakespeare was a total dick.

Maybe he was. At least he liked to have a lot of people killed in his plays.

His plays had to excite the common folk, and car chases hadn't been invented yet.

But what about horse chases? Chases on feet? Chases on something else? Lack of ingenuity.

It's rumored that one of Shakespeare's unfinished plays, the Hazards of the Duke, featured a scene wherein an oxen cart is jumped across a pond to escape the pursuit of a corrupt sheriff. Apparently Shakespeare abandoned the play because he felt his audience of 17th century peasants, drunkards and street urchins were too sophisticated to enjoy such rudimentary storytelling. The Bard was convinced that there would never exist an audience stupid enough and crude enough to make such a show successful.

Everyone given long prison sentences should be given a euthanasia option, like in Escape From LA.

He meant as an alternative option available for the indicted to decide, dummy.

I repeat and stand by my statement, moron.

So I guess you're against assisted suicide, too huh?

Actually, im not. Im prochoice there.

I just don't see the point in long prison sentences. Especially if death is offered as a means of escaping the sentence.

So long asshole!

That's what your mom said!!

Was that over the line? I'm never sure.

You've offended me, my mom had assholendectomy! :P (seriously, you're fine)
