Tak ada post panjang berjela hari ini. Cuma ada pertembungan bila ada mesin taip lama (masih lagi belajar nak menaip tanpa cacat cela) dan apabila menerjah lubang arnab yakni Perang Saudara Inggeris 1645-1652.
Berikut adalah pertuduhan yang dilemparkan terhadap Raja Charles I (tiada kaitan dengan Charles III sekarang ini, lain susur-galur) yang dibuat oleh Solicitor General, John Cooke:
Dan ini pulak antara jawapan Raja Charles I.
So, can you put an English king on trial? The English certainly did. Now, was the trial a fair one? Certainly don't look that way. Charles I was not informed of his charges before arrest, there was no presumption of innocence, he was not given time to prepare his defence, his challenges to the court's jurisdiction fell on deaf ears and he has no right of appeal. In short, it was an utter disgrace to the English legal system.
Anyhow, It still blows my mind that for a brief period in time England was a military dictatorship in the guise of a theocratic republic. England, of all places!
