#1 Look for this boring melodrama to be resolved by a publicized meeting of SH with his chief lawyer and Tribunal judges, wherein the defendant is asked his wishes -- which always govern this matter.

I need cinematic trivia help -- was it "Take The Money And Run" by Woody Allen wherein the jury foreman stood and said "you honor, we find the defendant incredbly guilty"? That's the scene I keep seeing in my mind when considering the forthcoming trials.

Actually, it was 'The Producers' - and what Mel Brooks could do with this...

#3 I just watched that last night, strangely. When Woody Allen is found guilty, the judge takes off his glasses and stomps on them.

#4 Hope Saddass's counsel got a big nonrefundable retainer up front.
