Had to catch up on some sleep before posting, sorry for the delay. What I remember from court. Note: This all took place in French. So, these are legalese translations from memory, certainly not direct quotes. PIERRE DAOUST was called up. Pete explained that he isn't PIERRE DAOUST, he's a man that happens to be the SOLE AUTHORIZED ADMINISTRATOR for the PERSON PIERRE DAOUST Inscription Number #####. JUSTICE: Ok Mr. Pierre. From then on they refer to Pete as Mr. Pierre. Two other cases then went up before the court. After which, back to Pete. The JUSTICE then started to read the 'instructions/rights'(not sure what to call it) out for 'Mr.Pierre' as he had 'chosen' not to have a lawyer. Pete began to interrupt but the JUSTICE told him not to interrupt, so Pete let him continue. Pete then insists that he doesn't UNDERSTAND THE NATURE AND CAUSE OF THESE PROCEEDINGS. He points out that he WOULD hire a lawyer to provide the best possible defense to his PERSON, but he must first have access to the SURETY. WHERE IS THE SURETY? Mostly blank stares from everyone. JUSTICE says that they'll get to that. Pete continued to insist that he needs to know where the SURETY is, and doesn't UNDERSTAND. JUSTICE just repeats that they'll get that for him. Pete says he needs it now. JUSTICE asks the CROWN if they've provided (Not sure about this, discovery or evidence). The CROWN says they have, so the JUSTICE turns back to Pete and tells him that their (discovery?) will include the SURETY. JUSTICE finished reading the 'instructions/rights', and asks the CROWN to call their first witness. CROWN calls the cop, and starts questioning him. Pete interrupts, insisting that he doesn't UNDERSTAND THE NATURE AND CAUSE OF THESE PROCEEDINGS. That this makes no sense. That his rights are being violated. That what's happening isn't RIGHT. JUSTICE repeats that they'll get to the SURETY part and insists that Pete sit down. Pete keeps standing, and reiterating his position. The Bailiff calls for backup, and begins approaching Pete. Pete continues to insists that this makes no sense, that his rights are being violated, and that this makes no sense. He asks the approaching Bailiff if he's the JUSTICE's bodyguard or something? Pete finally sits down when the JUSTICE further insists, and tells him he won't ask again. (Second bailiff arrives) Cop begins testimony. Just running through all of the 'FACTS' about the night he intercepted Pete. Pete objects many times during the testimony. Objections include: -He doesn't UNDERSTAND THE NATURE AND CAUSE OF THESE PROCEEDINGS. -He doesn't have a lawyer here, and needs one to defend himself. He needs to know who the SURETY is to pay for one. -He himself isn't a JUSTICE, or a lawyer. This isn't his field/profession, so doesn't know what's going on. -The cop's testimony is inaccurate. -The cop is lying. Every time Pete objects, the JUSTICE simply says that those aren't objections, they're more like comments, but that they're noted. As for the testimony being inaccurate, Mr. Pierre will have a chance to cross-examine. ((I could easily be mistaken about this, as Pete doesn't remember it this way. But from memory:)) Pete said that he had no bad intentions. He then asked the cop if he thought Pete had bad intentions. He then sort of asked everyone if anyone thought he had criminal intentions. During that, Pete reiterated his position again. The JUSTICE then admitted that the CROWN had NOT answered Pete's question as regards the SURETY. The JUSTICE then asks Pete if he wants to recess(?) to have the time to find a lawyer. Pete says that if they tell him who the SURETY is, then sure! The JUSTICE then said that no one in the courtroom has any OBLIGATION to divulge who the party with SURETY is. Furthermore, he said that he will not ORDER anyone to divulge who the party with SURETY is. Pete again reiterates his position: He insists that he doesn't UNDERSTAND THE NATURE AND CAUSE OF THESE PROCEEDINGS. He points out that he WOULD hire a lawyer to provide the best possible defense to his PERSON, but he must first have access to the SURETY. WHERE IS THE SURETY? WHERE IS THE INJURED PARTY? JUSTICE: There is NO INJURED PARTY. It is the STATE that is pursuing you. JUSTICE asks if Pete wants a new court date, to give him time to find a lawyer. Pete asks for a few minutes to think about his answer. JUSTICE agrees. Once back in court, Pete repeats again that he doesn't UNDERSTAND THE NATURE AND CAUSE OF THESE PROCEEDINGS. He says that not having access to the SURETY to hire a proper defense for his PERSON is UNACCEPTABLE. For these reason, he asks that the case be DISMISSED. CROWN says that the testimony of the cop is evidence. JUSTICE says that to dismiss the case, there must be NO evidence, but the cop's testimony IS evidence, so case is not DISMISSED. JUSTICE asks again if Pete wants time to find a lawyer. Pete says that he would like time to CONSULT with a lawyer. JUSTICE recessed for 10 minutes to decide, then agrees and grants Pete the time to find a lawyer. Pro Forma date set for the 24th of August.
