It depends, Jim - in a civil trial, the defendant is not required to appear. In a criminal trial, he is not required to testify. Even in the case of a misdemeanor, the defendant may have his attorney appear for him.
Don't believe everything you read in those talkingpoints, Jim.Last edited by JimL; 12-02-2019, 10:23 PM.

Either the defendent or defendents atty must appear if they want to win the case, CP. Same goes for the plaintiff.
Originally posted by JimL View PostReally CP? In an actual courtroom the defendent doesn't get to fail to appear.
Glad we cleared that up, and I'm always happy to be of assistance to you, Jim.
Just remember, the rules are different for civil and criminal, and even vary according to jurisdiction. AND, the rules in impeachment vary even more.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Well, that's your new version after I skeweled you --- here's what you had originally said...

Originally posted by JimL View PostJust remember we were not talking a civil case, so if anyone need remember that it's you CP. Your point is moot, not to mention idiotic.
The fact remains that a defendant is not always required to appear for trial - it depends on the type of trial and the venue.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I'm seeing a pattern here, Jim --- whenever you can't actually make a solid case on something, you resort to this dishonest childish hooliganism. It's actually kinda cute.

Originally posted by JimL View PostI'm seeing a pattern here as well CP, you can't admit to your errors,
so you deny them when they're pointed out to you and instead,
like an arrogant jackass, attack those pointing them out to you.
What error did I commit?
What "attack" did I make?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

The term "misdemeanor", of course, indicates it's a criminal court, and happens to be the same word used in the US Constitution as one of the offenses for which impeachment can be commenced.Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostIt depends, Jim - in a civil trial, the defendant is not required to appear. In a criminal trial, he is not required to testify. Even in the case of a misdemeanor, the defendant may have his attorney appear for him.
Do I Have to Appear in Court or Can My Attorney Appear for Me?
If you are a perpetrator of a misdemeanor, your attorney is allowed to appear in court for you. He/she may defend your rights without your presence on your behalf at all stages of your case. But, if your charge is brought for a felony you must take part in all stages including arraignment, plea, preliminary hearing, parts of a trial and sentencing at the court with your attorney.
So, as I said, even in a criminal case, the defendant may not be required to be present.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
