Devil's Advocate -- Can they mention decisions in other jurisdictions and the fact that they don't agree with the court?
- chimeracoder 14y ago> Can they mention decisions in other jurisdictions No, because those jurisdictions aren't relevant once the court has already made a ruling for its own jurisdiction. > the fact that they don't agree with the court? There's nothing to 'disagree' about. As far as the court is concerned, once it's made a ruling, it's determined the facts, and you can't disagree with their facts. There's nothing to appeal in an acquittal (because of double-jeopardy), so the courts have had their final word on the matter. This is a civil case, but to use the analogy in a criminal case: once the defendant in a murder trail has been acquitted, the prosecutor can't continue to say, "The court has determined the facts, but I have a different opinion."
