Judge: Marshall, I ask again, you are aware of the concept of a defense attorney; again let me remind you that: there will be no mistrial, and there is no appeal above this court.
Defense Attorney: Yes sir.
Prosecutor: The Accused have committed the following acts:
Class One: politicians of both political parties have engaged in the following crimes against Texas’ elderly citizens
1) extortion and terrorist threats to solicit financial contributions and votes;
2) bribery of special interest groups to enact legislation which damages property, well being, safety, and health of elderly citizens;
3) fraud by taking benefits promised to veterans and transferring those benefits to illegal residents of Texas;
4) facilitating neglect, abuse, exploitation, torture, and homicide of senior citizens by not enacting enforcement legislation or providing enforcement dollars to provide justice for senior citizens victimized by crimes against their interests;
5) violating their oaths to God to protect inalienable rights guaranteed in America’s Constitution; for example limiting civil damages in just law suits, and stealing body parts of senior citizens.
Class Two: public sector bureaucrats
6) theft of services which deprives senior citizens of needed services by abusing public travel dollars to take themselves and their families on extravagant vacations disguised as learning seminars;
7) providing inadequate services by using mental health dollars to limit mental health activities for senior citizens to playing bingo;
8) facilitating identity theft of senior citizens by not shredding trash at places like the Post Office;
9) making senior citizens homeless and dependent on government handouts by raising property taxes to force seniors out of their homes;
10) forcing seniors into poverty by not allowing them to own property to qualify for some government assistance programs;
11) creating bureaucratic red tape that is designed to put quality small nursing homes out of business to benefit larger corporate nursing homes.
Defense Attorney: Defense moves to exclude the uncivil servants who would have made “good Germans” during Hitler’s era from his client list.
Judge: Denied, the prosecution may continue.
Prosecutor:
Class Three: political prosecutors
12) greed for not aggressively pursuing crimes against the elderly because these cases do not improve conviction ratios with high profile trials;
13) negligence for not defending senior’s property and civil rights because “old people do not make good witnesses”.
Class Four: law enforcement
14) law enforcement for not investigating crimes against seniors, because asset forfeiture laws mean there is more money in arresting drug dealers.
Class Five: private sector business
15) engaging in unethical capitalism and “money lender” policies (The prosecution would like to point out that these are the same types of personalities that: opposed Nehemiah’s Wall, killed Socrates and crucified Jesus)…
Judge Interrupts: Would the defense like to object to the prosecutions last comment?
Defense Attorney: No your Honor, the prosecutor may not be known as the universe’s most truthful, but in this case his comment is accurate.

31) chart surfing …
Defense Attorney: Would the prosecution please define “chart surfing”.

After prosecutor finishes reading individual counts
Defense attorney quips: My clients are guilty as hell; looks at prosecutor smiles and says: no offense, but guilty as hell is guilty as hell.
Defense attorney continues: The people of Texas plead guilty and move to proceed to the punishment phase of this trial.
Judge: Objections from the prosecution?
Prosecutor: None here, wonder if the defense attorney is going to execute his clients too?
Judge: Very well, the defense attorney may begin.
Defense Attorney: Your Honor, since the defense for the people of Texas have not contested any charges and plead guilty to all counts; I ask only that the defense be given the opportunity to make its closing arguments last.
Prosecutor: no objections.
Judge: The prosecution may begin.
Prosecutor: By the defense’s own words, the people of Texas are “guilty as hell”. The prosecution asks for the maximum punishment: Terrorists release “Phantom Plus” across Texas, and eternal damnation for the souls of the people of Texas.
Defense Attorney: As neither The Ten Commandments nor The Bill of Rights are “living documents” with provisions for exemptions or excuses; I will not plead or beg for mercy for my clients the People of Texas.
The defense acknowledges that as The Ten Commandments are Heaven’s rules of conduct for individuals; so are The Ten Bill of Rights, Heaven’s rules of conduct for all United States governing bodies and public sector employees.
The defense also acknowledges that there are times in human history when innocent children suffer for the sins of their parents.
Did not the “first born” of Egypt suffer for the sins of Pharaoh and his supporters?
Did not the children of parents who worshiped the “golden calf,” also wander in the
desert for forty years?
Did not the children of Hiroshima suffer for the sins of their parents?
Are the children of parents who dishonor their parents any less subject to the sins of their parents?
Judge Interrupts: When is this court going to hear any symbolic logic of a defense that serves the interests of your clients?
Defense Attorney: I am almost there Your Honor.
Defense Attorney Continues: Are my clients guilty, with out a doubt. Do my clients have any excuses for their crimes, none.
To only thing my traitors to humanity clients do have; is the right to know why they are about to be punished.
Failing to advise my clients of the reasons for their punishments would make the convictions and subsequent actions of this court appear to be unjust crimes against the innocent.
Consequences of not informing my clients of reasons for their punishments would make the guilty appear to be victims; not only to my clients but also the rest of America.
Non Texan Americans need to be aware that the tragedy that befell their fellow citizens was divine justice; not the free will actions of terrorists with rabid souls.
Judge: Enough; my decision on final punishment will require higher consultation; court will reconvene on eleventh new moon Texas time.
Mr. Defense Attorney: No promises, probation may be considered depending on degree of change in your clients’ behavior between now and when court reconvenes.
Defense Attorney to Prosecutor: before you ask; you forgot, I took an oath to uphold, protect, and defend the United States Constitution.
Sending guilty souls to hell is a small is small price to pay, to buy the other forty-nine states time to think about your money lender influences.
Besides that, I’m lazy and do not feel like having to go through another forty nine trials.
Guess I do understand the concept of defense attorney.
Closing, non-residents of Texas should send letters, faxes, and e-mails supporting probation for Texas to Congress, Senate, and President. Let them know politicians not supporting probation for Texas will not be re-elected.
Texas Drifter in his role as editor cannot change ending of Texas On Trial for two reasons. First I made a new year’s resolution to interfere less in my character’s lives. Second Texas On Trial is non-fiction news; and can only be changed by citizens living the news.
