Dear Advogado Jose, Here is a simplified transcript pf this morning's proceedings: Goan Cybercourt No. 1, Hon. Justice Goen Publicus presiding. After preliminaries: PP: Your Honour, Mr. RB is accused of misappropriating an IP. Ju: Who is appearing for the defense? JC: I am, your Honor. Ju: How does your client plead? JC: Your Honor, it has not been shown- Ju: I repeat!! How does your client plead ?? JC: Your Honor, my client can show... Ju: Cease immediately!! Which part do you not understand?? JC: Your Honor, my client requires this court to prove he is not the originator of the IP under mention and... Ju: Silence!!! Counsel, approach the bench immediately!! JC: Yes, your Honor?? Ju: Are you indeed unaware of courtroom procedure? JC: No, your Honor. Ju: That taking the plea of the accused is the first step - JC: Your Honor, I'm a respected physician... Ju: Silence!! One last time - is your client guilty or not?? JC: Your Honor, can you prove - Ju: Silence!! Counsel, I am holding you in contempt. One day's SI, during which your credentials will be verified. Your unfortunate client may choose alternate representation. Bailiff, counsel may be removed from this court immediately! _______ So JC, the gloves are off. No more hemming and hawing and verbal obfuscation. One simple question - is Rene Barretto the founder and originator of World Goa Day ? One simple Yes or No. If you cannot answer that straightforward and upright, I think I'm wasting my time. No cockamamie Pontius Pilate type of responses. It is you, not your client, who is now in the dock.
