And so it begins

Before the preliminary hearing, Renaud Garner sent a letter to the SAC arbiters, available here.

My favourite part?

We can ensure the members of the SAC that we will respect the process. We will not bring signs to the hearing, nor will we yell insults at the arbitrators or any of the witnesses or parties. We will not bring signs to the hearing, nor will we yell insults at the arbitrators or any of the witnesses or parties. We will not cause a circus by walking out of any hearing nor shall we play games with the process. We will not cause a circus by walking out of any hearing nor shall we play games with the process.

Again, this should be interesting. Mr. Garner brings up valid points, and does so knowing that he (and the other Plaintiffs) are at a disadvantage. It was brought up at a BOA meeting, what would happen if the Plaintiffs decided not to consent to the SAC, and anyone who seriously asks that questions does not think before they speak. If the Plaintiffs refuse to submit to the SAC then there is no case before it. So there one point for the accused.

Three of the accused we present for the discussion and ratifying of the 5 new arbiters. Non of the Plaintiffs were. Another point for the accused.

Two of the interviewers are accused of having direct ties and involvement with the accused. Two out of the three. Another point for the accused.

Three of the accused are being paid to work on their defense. Or at least have not proven that they aren't. Paid by us. Another point for the accused.

I'm sure there are plenty more points to be tabulated. But so far its 4-0. But my friends, truth is a wild card. Like the Joker in Asshole.
