| Post subject: | Poor Socrates Goes Down Again in Mock Trial |
Socrates convicted again in modern mock trial In benefit for Hellenic museum, philosopher is fined for corrupting youths, disrespecting Greek gods By Stacy St. Clair, Chicago Tribune reporter February 1, 2013 Patrick Fitzgerald has taken down two governors, numerous mobsters and a few terrorists. But he may have met his match in a 70-year-old Greek philosopher with a big mouth. Fitzgerald, a former U.S. attorney who gained a national reputation for corruption-busting before going into private practice last year, prosecuted Socrates on Thursday as part of a mock trial intended to raise money for the National Hellenic Museum in Chicago. Much more at link. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/loca ... rint.story (Not surprised that in today's time they would bring up money in the sense that Fitzgerald said beforehand that he (Socrates) refused a plea which would have saved the people the cost of a trial.) (I go with Historians who have acquitted Socrates in the past, and I admit that I'm also I'm biased against the prosecutor who helped put a couple of governors away. I think in one case evidence was withheld and how do we know that some of it may have implicated America's new God in some way. Just speculation but since we didn't get to hear them we won't ever know. And they put the guy away for 14 years so that should let it all get swept under the rug.) |

Thanks, Rumpole. I thought maybe it should be somewhere else but wasn't sure where to put it. |

Such a shame that the Athenians put this incredibly wise thinker on trial and convicted him (and on such ridiculous charges) for "making them look foolish". He was only pointing out the obvious. (Kind of like Rumpy does?  )

Nah.... "Rumpole of the Bailey" NEVER acts for the prosecution!!!! It seems "Rumpole" the poster ends up always for defence... somebody has to counter rabid lynch mobs. Rumpole of the Bailey Season 6 Episode 6 Quote: Rumpole for the Prosecution There was One episode of "Rumpole of the Bailey" that was the exception that proved the rule Rumpole agrees to act for the family of a dead girl who are bringing a private prosecution for murder against a policeman. Did a killer receive preferential treatment from his colleagues on the Force, who knew he was guilty but decided not to charge him?
