There's no justice, just me

[Mortician 2]

Ministers are having another pop at trial by jury, claiming that the public are too stupid to understand complex trials.

 

So esteemed Death Listers we know we're clever enough, what's the best system of justice?

[Anubis the Jackal 77]

Trial by Water, if they sink, they're guilty.

Either that or Phrenology...fairly foolproof I'd say.

[Lady Die 63]

Trial by viewer telephone vote ... it works for Pop Idol & Big Brother

[Bald rick 9]

Phrenology - every time I see the word it reminds me of Terry Pratchett's Retrophrenologist. Customers would choose what attributes they wanted, and the retrophrenologist would make lumps on their head in the right places using a selection of hammers.

 

This could be a suitable method of meting out justice.

In light of the Michael Jackson result, how about Trial by Celebrity Status.

 

If you are an international celebrity, you get off scott-free.

If you are an average person, you are guilty and end up in jail.

If you are Z-list celeb (Celebrity Love Island, I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, Celebrity Come Dancing, Celebrity Big Brother - all those shows which stretch the definition of celebrity to breaking point), you get found guilty, but get community service.

 

It could also act as an incentive for people to become international celebrities.

 

So, justice and personal motivation at the same time.

Transportation to the colonies without all that dilly-dallying around with a trial and evidence, and all that rubbish.

And for those of us in the colonies, what worse punishment could there be than being sent back? Yikes!

So what does phrenology tell us about you, considering your long snout, flat head and pointed ears Mr A.t. Jackal?

I am little more than a common cut-purse, a horse-rustler and a mounteback.

 

And you?

[Tuber Mirum 125]

How about trial by Bongo?

 

Would probably have appealed to Mr. Jackson.

I must a moonbase of some description, according to my cratered, almost geodesic scone.

Whilst visiting the colonies my Aussie cuz spent 20 minutes on his soap box saying that the solution to crime was to send the criminals to a desert island!

 

I don't think he realised the irony until we pointed out that's how his home town was founded.....

I could think of no punishment crueller than being transported to a desolate island where 24 degrees is considered a heatwave.

We could all just say screw it, trial by death. You bring a firing squad and shot a defendent 20 times, if the person survives, s/he is innocent.

Trial by Death by Bongo?

That's a bit extreme don't you think? What are the survival rates?
