Johansen Trial Underway

Info is trickling in about Jon Johansen's trial In Norway, where he is accused of violating Norwegian law. Aftenposten and VG Nett have stories, and there's at least one amateur account of the trial. The trial is supposed to last a week, and I'm sure Slashdot will keep up with it, so please submit only *new* stories about it, thanks.

confirmed: I just shat all over myself

I can't believe I just took a shit in my pants at work. What the fuck? I cant stand up and take it to the restroom, because I am wading in a puddle of feces at this very moment. Any change in my seating position will send my poo spilling down my legs and into my socks and shoes. There is no way I can play this off as a fart. It doesn't help at all that I've been spun out for 3 days. I can hardly see straight! How am I possibly going to explain this to my Supervisor when she comes over here to ask me what the fuck I just did in the presence of my employer? She'll make me drop trau in front of everyone again. There it is. The person in the cubicle to the right of me just asked if I could smell "that". I gotta go.

Type of Judicial System

[airrage]

What type of judicial system do they implore: either the English Common Law (presumed guilty) or the German way (guilty, and must prove innocence)?

Do they have the death penalty?

New stories only!

The same could be asked of the editors.. ;)

I kinda doubt they are going to execute him. I don't even think the MPAA would encourage that.

Not unless they could get the movie rights for cheap!

(Yes, I'm joking.)

As long as its not American:

"Guilty by reason of pissed corporation."

That is NOT the American system.

[DAldredge]

The American system is "Guilty by reason of lesser bank account balance"

Actually I find the "Ancient Viking" penalty fun

Does Norway guarantee trial by one's peers?

They could get a mistrial because the jury wasn't '133t.

Obligation

In Soviet Russia, protection mechanisms breach you!

Funny reason for a trial

The story says:

Unusual accusation for a court to make..

It could be that the prosecutor is asking what a GUI is to get him defining Jon's role in the development, not out of ignorance.

For example:
Witness: So I opened up the cupboard and got a jar of peanut butter.
Matlock: What do you mean, you got a jar of peanut butter?
Witness: I took out the jar with my hand and took a knife to butter ... alright, you've got me! I really killed him because he hated me and my toast!

Well ... maybe not quite like that ...
