Glad everyone had a good time! I'm very sorry to have missed it.
Sweet ... Apparently this conversation (Under ODSS Jurisprudence Guidelines) is serving as your arraignment and Grand Jury. You have entered a guilty plea. Therefore, there will be no court martial. You are headed directly to the sentencing phase. Cosmo, as convening authority, may pass sentence.
As your legal counsel in this case, I only wish you had consulted with me prior to pleading -- I'm confident we could have plead to a lesser offence... Oh well. Maybe I can get you a reduced sentence ...
If the court so pleases ... Mr. President, my client was suffering from extreme mental duress at the time of the offence, was not aware that he was committing the offence, and, due to his decreased mental acuity at the time of the offence, was unable to make a determination that it was wrong anyway. I urge the court to impose a JUST sentence of the punishment already served (i.e., the pain, suffering and humiliation incurred from his so-called "Brothers" in the ODSS). My client will learn from this and be a better man. Heaping more punishment upon my client, who already feels miserable and ashamed, would be cruel and vindictive. Is that what we are??? I say we are better than that, your Honor! This is an opportunity to prove once again something that we already know -- that you are a wise, just and merciful man without even a taint of sadism or cruelty. Do the right thing, Mr. President!
Humbly Submitted,
J. Crosby Milliman. Esq.
