Our Master of Ceremonies, a former Police Chief, heaps praise on our retiring President
Our Honoured President accepts this praise with his customary sober and dignified demeanour
A sudden reversal of fortunes as a representative of the law shows up and escorts our guest of honour (who, in shame, hides his face from the camera) to the "hoosegow*"
where he is held for a "summary trial**"
hoosegow* - Slang A jail.
ETYMOLOGY: Spanish juzgado, tribunal, courtroom, from past participle of juzgar, to judge, from Latin idicre
A summary trial** - is a quicker and less expensive alternative to a full trial.
A full trial works best when you and the Defendant do not agree on important facts; a summary trial works best when you and the Defendant agree on the facts, but disagree on what the result should be based on those facts.
Like a full trial, a summary trial is intended to result in a final court order.
The Jury gets a good look at the accused as he is led from the courtroom
The trial begins as the Prosecuting Attorney presents his case
An honoured member of the Academic Community is sworn in as a witness for the prosecution
The defendant's own father in law appears as a witness for the prosecution describing acts of theft of pastry during visits to his home
A young mother from the soccer Community is sworn in as a witness for the prosecution
The Judge comforts a shy female Witness for the prosecution after she breaks down on the stand while relating tales of forced "hugging" sessions at Rotary meetings
Judge's Charge - The Presiding Judge addresses the Jury members informing them of their responsibilities in carrying out their civic duties as jurors. The jury is given an abbreviated charge on the applicable law.
The Defendant pleads for mercy but is nontheless found guilty
The Defendant accepts his sentence of a year's "Community Service"
as the 2006-7 Chair of the "Windsor and District Chamber of Commerce",
and leaves the courtroom determined to mend his ways.
